Question

Prescott expects to produce 225,000 basic models and 225,000 professional models. Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rates using activity-based costing. How much overhead is allocated to the basic model? To the professional model?Estimated overhead cost / Estimated qty of the allocation base= Predetermined OH Basic Model Professional ModelManufacturing overhead assembly 264800 195200Manufacturing overhead packaging 55200 227700Total manufacturing overhead cost 320000 422900

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The Calculation of Predetermined OH Rate is shown below:

For Materials Handling, it is

= Estimated Overhead Costs ÷ Estimated allocated base Quantity  

= $54,000 ÷ 96

= $562.50 per part

For Machine Setup, it is

= Estimated Overhead Costs ÷ Estimated allocated base Quantity

= $204,000 ÷ 60

= $3,400 per setup

For Insertion of Parts, it is

= Estimated Overhead Costs ÷ Estimated allocated base Quantity  

= $486,000 ÷ 96

= $5,062.50 per part

Now  

Calculation of allocated OH is

For Basic Model:

Allocated OH is

= $562.50 × 32 + $3,400 × 20 + $5,062.50 × 32

= $248,000

For Professional Model:

Allocated OH is

= $562.50 × 64 + $3,400 × 40 + $5,062.50 × 64

= $496,000
