Question

Activity-Based Costing: Factory Overhead Costs

Answer 1

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated factory overhead:

fabrication, $448,000

assembly, $180,000

setup, $222,600

inspection, $189,000

Fabrication Assembly Setup Inspection

Speedboat 7,000 dlh 22,500 dlh 50 setups 88 inspections

Bass boat 21,000 7,500 370 612

28,000 dlh 30,000 dlh 420 setups 700 inspections

Each product is budgeted for 5,000 units of production for the year.

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity using the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

fabrication= 448,000/28,000= $16 per direct labor hour

assembly= 180,000/30,000= $6 per direct labor hour

setup= 222,600/420= $530 per setup

inspection= 189,000/700= $270 per inspection

Now, we can allocate overhead to each product line:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Speed boat:

Allocated MOH= 7,000*16 + 22,500*6 + 50*530 + 88*270= $297,260

Bass boat:

Allocated MOH= 21,000*16 + 7,500*6 + 370*530 + 612*270= $742,340

Finally, the unitary overhead cost:

Speed boat= 297,260/5,000= $59.45

Bass boat= 742,340/5,000= $148.47
