Question 3
Company A uses a traditional system in costing its products. Using this system, the
company allocates all indirect production costs to products in proportion to their direct
labour costs. However, recently the company has been contemplating in switching to an
Activity-Based Costing (ABC) system.

Three products are produced: X, Y and Z. Direct costs, indirect costs and cost-driver
activity for each product for a recent month are as follows:

Question 4: Activity Based Costing (ABC)
The Gadget Co produces three products, A, B and C, all made from the same material. Until now, it has used
traditional absorption costing to allocate overheads to its products. The company is now considering an activity based
costing system in the hope that it will improve profitability. Information for the three products for the last year is as
follows:
Production and sales volumes (units)
Selling price per unit
Raw material usage (kg) per unit
Direct labour hours per unit
Machine hours per unit
Number of production runs per annum
Number of purchase orders per annum
Number of deliveries to retailers per annum

The price for raw materials remained constant throughout the year at $1.20 per kg. Similarly, the direct labour cost
for the whole workforce was $14.80 per hour. The annual overhead costs were as follows:
