Answer:
Flynn Industries
A) A) Schedule of Overhead cost rates per cost driver:
Setup $21,500 43 = $500 ($21,500/43) per setup
Machine hours 101,430 4,830 = $21 ($101,430/4,830) per m.hour
Orders 34,020 540 = $63 ($34,020/540) per order
B) Schedule assigning overhead costs to the two products:
Rates Product BC113 Product AD908
Setup $500 $11,000 ($500 * 22) $10,500 ($500 * 21)
Machine hours $21 24,990 ($21 * 1,190) 76,440 ($21 * 3,640)
Orders $63 6,930 ($63 * 110) 27,090 ($63 * 430)
Total overheads $42,920 $114,030
Estimated production 2,000 1,000
C) Overhead cost per unit $21.46 ($42,920/2,000) $114.03 ($114,030/1,000)
D) With activity-based costing, despite the fact that Product BC113 has 2,000 units, it has the least total overhead costs assigned to it, while AD908 with 1,000 units was allocated more overhead costs. This situation is caused by the different usage or consumption of activities by the two products.
