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

Direct materials............................... $19,000 $43,200 $ 62,200
Direct labor................................... 12,200 23,800 36,000

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 ................................................

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

- 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:arrow_forwardQUESTION 17 ACCOUNT Work in Process-Forging Department Date Item Nov. 1 Bal., 1,200 units, 60% completed 30 Direct materials, 8,300 units 30 Direct labor 30 Factory overhead 30 Goods transferred, 2 units 30 Bal., 900 units, 70% completed Debit 124,500 18,950 20,196 Credit ?
