Question

Annual production and sales level of Product A1 is 9,280 units, and the annual production and sales level of Product B2 is 23,110 units. What is the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product B2 under activity-based costing

Answer 1

Answer:

Overhead per unit of Product B2 = $4.46

Explanation:

We know,

Allocation overhead to product line under A B C costing = Total overhead cost of specific product line/total number of products sold.

For each activity, the allocated overhead cost to product B2 = Total budgeted cost × [Product B2/(Product A1 + Product B2 of that activity)]

Activity 1 allocated to Product B2 line: $56,000 × 5,600/7,600 = $41,263

Activity 2 allocated to Product B2 line: $71,000 × 5,560/8,600 = $45,902

Activity 3 allocated to Product B2 line: $96,000 × 1,600/9,600 = $16,000

Total overhead allocated to Product B2 = $103,165

Overhead per unit of Product B2: $103,165/23,110 = $4.46
