Question

Angara Corporation uses activity-based costing to determine product costs for external financial reports. The company has provided the following data concerning its activity-based costing system:
Activities (and Activity Measures) Estimated Overhead Cost
Machine related (machine-hours) $362,600
Batch setup (setups) $421,500
General factory (direct labour-hours) $308,100


Expected Activity
Activities Product X Product Y Total
Machine related 6,000 8,000 14,000
Batch setup 12,000 3,000 15,000
General factory 5,000 8,000 13,000

Assuming that actual activity turns out to be the same as expected activity, the total amount of overhead cost allocated to Product X would be closest to:

a. $421,500
b. $897,500
c. $476,000
d. $611,100

Answer 1

Answer:

d. $611,100

Explanation:

The computation of the total amount of overhead cost is shown below:

= (Machine related cost ÷ Total machine related cost of product X × Machine related of product X) + (Batch setup cost ÷ Total machine related cost of product X × Machine related of product X) + (General factory cost ÷ total general factory cost of product X × general factory of product X)

= ($362,600 ÷ 14,000 × 6,000) + ($421,500 ÷ 15,000 × 12,000) + ($308,100 ÷ 13,000 × 5,000)

= $155,400 + $337,200 + $118,500

= $611,100
