Concept explainers
Concept Introduction:
Activity Based Costing (ABC): ABC costing method is generally used to allocate the overhead costs to the product using activity rates differently for each activity. Unlike traditional method, the ABC costing method does not use the plant wide overhead rate, rather it used different allocation rate for different production activity.
Predetermined overhead allocation:
Manufacturing overhead cost is the pool of all indirect costs incurred for the production. These are the costs which are not directly traceable to the product.
Requirement-1:
To calculate: The Predetermined overhead allocation rate for each active
Requirement-2:
To calculate: The activity based cost per unit using the predetermined overhead allocation rates
Requirement-3:
To calculate: The total allocated indirect cost and Indirect cost per unit using the single plant wide overhead allocation rate
Requirement-4:
To show: The comparison of activity based cost per unit using the predetermined overhead allocation rates and Indirect cost per unit using the single plant wide overhead allocation rate

- The Gasson Company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The company's ending work in process inventory consists of 27,000 units, The ending work in process inventory is 100% complete with respect to materials and 70% complete with respect to labor and overhead. If the costs per equivalent unit for the period $4.50 for the materials and $3.60 for labor and overhead, what is the balance of the ending work in process inventory account would be: (Do not round Cost per equivalent unit)Need answerarrow_forwardJOB M1arrow_forward??!!arrow_forward
