Question

Rizzo Manufacturing produces two types of cameras: 35mm and digital. The cameras are produced using one continuous process. Four activities have been identified: machining, setups, receiving, and packing. Resource drivers have been used to assign costs to each activity. The overhead activities, their costs, and the other related data are as follows:Product Machine Hours Setups Receiving Orders Packing Orders
35mm 10,000 100 200 400
Digital 10,000 250 800 2000
Cost $60,000 $40,000 $8,000 $24,000

A. Calculate the total overhead assigned to each the 35mm camera using only machine hours to calculate a plant-wide rate.
B. Using an activity rate for receiving based on receiving orders, assign receiving costs to the 35mm camera.
C. Calculate an activity rate for packing based on packing orders.

Answer 1

Answer:

Total overhead assigned to each the 35mm camera $ 66,000

An Activity Rate for receiving   $8 per receiving order

Receiving costs for 35mm camera  $1600

An Activity Rate for packing $ 10 per packing order

Explanation:

Product Machine Hours Setups Receiving Orders Packing Orders

35mm         10,000             100           200                  400

Digital            10,000          250          800                  2000

Cost            $60,000        $40,000    $8,000           $24,000

Total Overhead Costs= $ 60,000 + $ 40,000 + $ 8000+ $ 24,000= $132,000

Total overhead assigned to each the 35mm camera=( Total Costs/Total Machine Hours) * 35mm camera machine hours

Total overhead assigned to each the 35mm camera= ($ 132,000/ 20,000)10,000= $ 66,000

An Activity Rate for receiving based on receiving orders= 8000/1000=  $8 per receiving order

Receiving costs for 35mm camera= 8 * 200= $1600

An Activity Rate for packing based on packing orders = 24000/ 2400= $ 10 per packing order
