### Oriole Stairs Co. Cost Analysis

#### Overhead Cost Pools for 2025

Oriole Stairs Co. designs and builds factory-made premium wooden stairways for homes. The manufactured stairway components (spindles, risers, hangers, handrails) permit the installation of stairways of varying lengths and widths. All are made of white oak wood. Budgeted manufacturing overhead costs for the year 2025 are as follows:

| Overhead Cost Pools                        | Amount    |
|--------------------------------------------|-----------|
| Purchasing                                 | $75,000   |
| Handling materials                         | $82,000   |
| Production (cutting, milling, finishing)   | $220,000  |
| Setting up machines                        | $105,000  |
| Inspecting                                 | $108,000  |
| Inventory control (raw materials and finished goods) | $126,000  |
| Utilities                                  | $270,000  |
| **Total budgeted overhead costs**          | **$986,000** |

For the last 4 years, Oriole Stairs Co. has been charging overhead to products based on machine hours. For the year 2025, 100,000 machine hours are budgeted.

#### Activity-Based Costing

Jeremy Nolan, owner-manager of Oriole Stairs Co., recently directed his accountant, Bill Seagren, to implement the activity-based costing system that he has repeatedly proposed. At Jeremy Nolan’s request, Bill and the production foreman identified the following cost drivers and their usage for the previously budgeted overhead cost pools:

| Activity Cost Pools              | Cost Drivers            | Estimated Use of Cost Drivers  |
|----------------------------------|-------------------------|--------------------------------|
| Purchasing                       | Number of orders        | 600 orders                    |
| Handling materials               | Number of moves         | 8,000 moves                   |
| Production (cutting, milling, finishing) | Direct labor hours    | 100,000 hours                 |
| Setting up machines              | Number of setups        | 1,250 setups                  |
| Inspecting                       | Number of inspections   | 6,000 inspections             |
| Inventory control (raw materials and finished goods) | Number of components | 168,000 components           |
| Utilities                        | Square feet occupied    | 90,000 square feet            |
