Precision Manufacturing Inc. (PMI) makes two types of industrial component parts-the EX300 and the TX500. It annually produces
69,000 units of EX300 and 13,400 units of TX500. The company's conventional cost system allocates manufacturing overhead to
products using a plantwide overhead rate and direct labor dollars as the allocation base. Additional information relating to the
company's two product lines is shown below:

- Roberts Company produces two weed eaters: basic and advanced. The company has four activities: machining, engineering, receiving, and inspection. Information on these activities and their drivers is given below. Overhead costs: Required: 1. Calculate the four activity rates. 2. Calculate the unit costs using activity rates. Also, calculate the overhead cost per unit. 3. What if consumption ratios instead of activity rates were used to assign costs instead of activity rates? Show the cost assignment for the inspection activity.arrow_forwardElectan Company produces two types of printers. The company uses ABC, and all activity drivers are duration drivers. Electan Company is considering using DBC and has gathered the following data to help with its decision. A. Activities with duration drivers: B. Activities with consumption ratios and costs: C. Products with cycle time and practical capacity: Required: 1. Using cycle time and practical capacity for each product, calculate the total time for all primary activities. Comment on the relationship to ABC. 2. Calculate the overhead rate that DBC uses to assign costs. Comment on the relationship to a unit-based plantwide overhead rate. 3. Use the overhead rate calculated in Requirement 2 to calculate (a) the overhead cost per unit for each product, and (b) the total overhead assigned to each product. How does this compare to the ABC assignments shown in Part B of the Information set? 4. What if the units actually produced were 10,000 for Printer A and 18,000 for Printer B. Using DBC, calculate the cost of unused capacity.arrow_forwardWrappers Tape makes two products: Simple and Removable.

- Larsen, Inc., produces two types of electronic parts and has provided the following data: There are four activities: machining, setting up, testing, and purchasing. Required: 1. Calculate the activity consumption ratios for each product. 2. Calculate the consumption ratios for the plantwide rate (direct labor hours). When compared with the activity ratios, what can you say about the relative accuracy of a plantwide rate? Which product is undercosted? 3. What if the machine hours were used for the plantwide rate? Would this remove the cost distortion of a plantwide rate?arrow_forwardRefer to the data given in Problem 4.36 and suppose that the expected activity costs are reported as follows (all other data remain the same): The per unit overhead cost using the 14 activity-based drivers is 1,108 and 779 for Cylinder A and Cylinder B, respectively. Required: 1. Determine the percentage of total costs represented by the three most expensive activities. 2. Allocate the costs of all other activities to the three activities identified in Requirement 1. Allocate the other activity costs to the three activities in proportion to their individual activity costs. Now assign these total costs to the products using the drivers of the three chosen activities. 3.

Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] For many years, Thomson Company manufactured a single product called LEC 40. Then three years ago, the company automated a portion of its plant and at the same time introduced a second product called LEC 90 that has become increasingly popular. The LEC 90 is a more complex product, requiring 0.60 hours of direct labor time per unit to manufacture and extensive machining in the automated portion of the plant. The LEC 40 requires only 0.20 hours of direct labor time per unit and only a small amount of machining. Manufacturing overhead costs are currently assigned to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. Despite the growing popularity of the company's new LEC 90, profits have been declining steadily. Management is beginning to believe that there may be a problem with the company's costing system. Direct material and direct labor costs per unit are as follows: Direct materials Direct labor…arrow_forward
