2. Diverse products consume activities in different amounts. When they are different product line with diversification the product cost may vary than the actual costs IF ABC is not used. ABC helps removal of un necessary amounts allocated and assigns actual costs incurred.
The Scented cards are more costly than the Regular card. If machine hours are used as the only driver,Scented cards cards would receive 21% of the overhead, and Regular cards would receive 79% of the overhead. This shows that Scented cards are under costed and Regualr Cards are over costed if ABC is not used.
3. Activity Rate= Activity Cost/ Cost Driver
Activity
Inspecting products /Inspection hours= $45,000/1800= 25 $ per inspection hour
Setting up equipment/Setup hours= 28,500/600= $ 47.5 per setup hour
Machining/Machine hours = 30,720/3840 = $8 per machine hour
Moving materials /Number of moves=16,200/3600 = $ 4.5 per move
4. Activity Rate= Activity Cost/ Cost Driver
$ 20= $ 45000/ Hours
Hours = $ 45000/20 = 2250 inspection hours are expected for the coming year.
