Question

Hagy Corporation has an activity-based costing system with three activity cost pools--Processing, Setting Up, and Other. The company's overhead costs, which consist of factory utilities and indirect labor, are allocated to the cost pools in proportion to the activity cost pools' consumption of resources. Data concerning the company's costs and activity-based costing system appear below:
Factory utilities (total) $ 99,000
Indirect labor (total) $ 13,000

Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activity Cost Pools
Processing Setting Up Other
Factory utilities 0.30 0.50 0.20
Indirect labor 0.20 0.30 0.50

Assign overhead costs to activity cost pools using activity based costing.

Answer 1

Answer:

$112,000

Explanation:

The computation of using activity based costing for overhead costs to activity cost pools is below:-

Factory utilities for processing

= $99,000 × 0.30

= $29,700

Factory utilities for Setting up

= $99,000 × 0.50

= $49,500

Factory utilities for others

= $99,000 × 0.20

= $19,800

Total = $99,000

Indirect Labor for processing

= $13,000 × 0.20

= $2,600

Indirect labor for setting up

= $13,000 × 0.30

= $3,900

Indirect labor for others

= $13,000 × 0.50

= $6,500

Total = $13,000

Overhead costs = $99,000 + $13,000

= $112,000
