Exercise C-6 Activity-based costing P2
Northwest Company produces two types of glass shelving, rounded edge and squared edge, on the same production line. For the current period, the company reports the following data.

Rounded edge  squared edge
Total
Direct materials............................... $19,000 $43,200 $ 62,200
Direct labor................................... 12,200 23,800 36,000
Overhead (300% of direct labor cost)..... 36,600 71,400 108,000
Total cost.....................................
$67.800 $138,400 $206,200
Ouantity produced............................. 10,500 ft. 11,100 ft.
Average tost per ft (rounded).................... $ 6.46 $ 9.82

Northwest's controller wishes to apply activity-based costing (ABC) to allocate the $108,000 of overhead costs incurred by the two product lines to see whether cost per foot would change markedly from that reported above. She has collected the following information.
Overhead cost category (actually cost pool)costs
Supervision ................................................
$ 5,400
Depreciation of machinery.....................................
56,500
Assembly line preparation.....................................
46,000
Total overhead..............................................
$108,000

She has also collected the following information about the cost drivers for each category (cost pool) and the amount of each driver used by the two product lines.

Overhead cost category 		Driver				Usege
(actually  cost pool)					Rounded edge     squared edge	Total

Supervision ........................    Direct labor cost 	($$12,200        $23,800          36,000
Depreciation of machinery .....Machine hours               500 hours     1,500hours    2,000hours  
Assembly line preparation......Setups (number)           40 times    210 times               250 times

Required
1. Assign these three overhead cost pools to each of the two products using ABC.
2. Determine average cost per foot for each of the two products using ABC. Check (2: Rounded edge. 15.19: Squared edge. $10.76

PROCESS COSTING I Discussion Question J&G Manufacturing makes a single product by way of three separate processes. Details of production for the month ending June 30 were as follows: Process Process 1 Process 2 | Process 3 $390,000 Input material: Material added 16,250 kg $36,750 $92,200 $63,000 Direct Labour cost $57.300 $61,000 $112,800 $97,080 Manufacturing Overhead Normal losses 8% 6% 6% Output |Scrap value of losses 13,250 kg 12,000 kg $16.00/kg| $32.00/kg 13,750 kg The nature of the process requires equipment to be cleaned at the end of each month; hence there is no opening or closing stock of product in process. Required: i) The process account for each process: and ii) The abnormal loss/gain account(s) showing J & G Manufacturing true loss/gain.
problem 5 Marites Company employs standard absorption system for product costing. The standard cost of this product is as follows: Raw Materials – P14.50; Direct Labor for 2 hours @ P8/hr is P16; Manufacturing overhead for 2 hours @ P11/hr is P22. The total cost/unit (14.50+16+22) = P52.50. The manufacturing overhead rate is based upon normal annual activity level of 600,000 direct labor hours. The company planned to produce 25,000 units each month during 2020. Budgeted factory overhead for 2020 is composed of P3,600,000 variable and P3,000,000 fixed. During April 2021, 26,000 units of product were produced using 53,500 direct labor hours at a cost of P433,350. Actual manufacturing overhead for the month was P260,000 fixed and P315,000 variable. The total manufacturing overhead applied during April was P572,000. The variable overhead spending variance must be:
