To determine
Concept Introduction:
Activity-based costing: Activity-based costing is one of the cost allocation methods where overhead costs are allocated based on activity usage. It can be determined by using multiplying activity rate and activity usage. Activities can be classified as production, setups, design, and factory services.

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:

The controller, Peggy Kingman, is concerned about the residential product line. She cannot understand why
this line is not more profitable given that the installations of window coverings are less complex for residential
customers. In addition, the residential client base resides in close proximity to the company office, so travel
costs are not as expensive on a per client visit for residential customers. As a result, she has decided to take a
closer look at the overhead costs assigned to the two product lines to determine whether a more accurate

Question 1
Trimake Limited makes three main products, using broadly the same production methods and equipment for
each. A conventional product costing system is used at present, although an activity-based costing (ABC)
system is being considered. Details of the three products for a typical period are:
Product X
Product Y
Product Z
Hours per unit

Direct labour costs £14 per hour and production overheads are absorbed on a machine-hour basis. The rate
for the period is £28 per machine hour.
a) You are required to calculate the cost per unit for each product using conventional methods.
Further analysis shows that the total of production overheads can be divided as follows:

She accumulated the following data on the number of moves (from 100 to 800 in increments of 100) and the total cost of moving materials at those levels of moves: Required: 1. Prepare a scattergraph based on these data. Use cost for the vertical axis and number of moves for the horizontal axis. Based on an examination of the scattergraph, does there appear to be a linear relationship between the total cost of moving materials and the number of moves? 2. Compute the cost formula for moving materials by using the high-low method. Calculate the predicted cost for a month with 550 moves by using the high-low formula. (Note: Round the answer for the variable rate to three decimal places and the answer for total fixed cost and total cost to the nearest dollar.) 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Compute the cost formula for moving materials using the method of least squares. (Note: For the method of least squares, round the variable rate to two decimal places and total fixed cost and total cost to the nearest dollar.) Using the regression cost formula, what is the predicted cost for a month with 550 moves? What does the coefficient of determination tell you about the cost formula computed by regression? 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Evaluate the cost formula using the least squares coefficients. Could it be improved? Try dropping the third data point (300, 3,400), and rerun the regression.arrow_forward

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.
