    Concept introduction:

    Activity-based costing (ABC):

    Activity-based costing refers to the method of costing where the overhead cost is assigned to various products. This costing method identifies the relationship between the manufacturing overhead costs and the activities. After establishing the relationship, the indirect cost is allocated to the products.

    The cost per minute of the resource supplied.

    Answer to Problem 5A.1E

    The cost per minute of the resource supplied is 0.40.

    Explanation of Solution

    Determine the cost per minute of the resource supplied:

      Cost per minute of the resource supplied = Total cost of resources supplied (1)Practical capacity of resources supplied (3)= $336,000848,640= $0.40

    Thus, the cost per minute of the resource supplied is 0.40.

    Working note 1:

    Calculate the total cost of resources supplied:

      Total cost of resources supplied = Number of employees × Average salary per employee= 12 × $28,000= $336,000

    Working note 2:

    Calculate the capacity per employee:

      Capacity per employee = Employment weeks × Working hours × 60 × Capacity percentage= 52 × 40 × 60 × 85%= 106,080

    Working note 3:

    Calculate the practical capacity of resources supplied:

      Practical capacity of resources supplied = Capacity per employee (2) × Number of employee= 106,080 × 8= 848,640

    To Calculate: The time-driven activity rate for the given activities.

    Answer to Problem 5A.1E

    The time-driven activity rate is $6, $18 and $12 for requisition processing,bid evaluation, and inspection.

    Explanation of Solution

    Calculate the time-driven activity rate for the given activities:

      ParticularsRequisition ProcessingBid EvaluationInspection
      Minutes per unit of the activity (a)154530
      Cost per minute of the resource supplied (b)$0.40$0.40$0.40
      Time-driven activity rate (a × b)$6.00$18.00$12.00

    Table: (1)

    Thus, the time-driven activity rate is $6, $18, and $12 for requisition processing,bid evaluation, and inspection.
