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
