Question

A company has two products: standard and deluxe. The company expects to produce 36,375 standard units and 62,240 deluxe units. It uses activity-based costing and has prepared the following analysis showing budgeted cost and cost driver activity for each of its three activity cost pools.Budgeted Activity ofCost DriverActivity Cost Pool Budgeted Cost Standard DeluxeActivity 1 $ 93,000 2,500 5,250Activity 2 $ 92,000 4,500 5,500Activity 3 $ 87,000 3,000 2,800Required:1. Compute overhead rates for each of the three activities.2. What is the expected overhead cost per unit for the standard units?3. What is the expected overhead cost per unit for the deluxe units?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. A1 = $12 A2 = $9.20 A3 = $1.50
2. Total Overhead for Standart Product              $267.16
3. Total Overhead for Deluxe Product              $163.48

Explanation:

First we will Calculate the rates:

This is done by adding the two product activity use to get the total cost driver.

Then we divide by the activity cost to get the rate:

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}activity&cost&driver&rate\\1&93,000&7,750&12\\2&92,000&10,000&9,2\\3&8,700&5,800&1,5\\\end{array}\right]$

Next we check the overhead per unit:

units/ activity use x rate = overhead for activity

Standart Product Manufacturing Overhead

36,375units /2,500 Use Activity 1   x $12    =  $174.60

36,375units /4,500 Use Activity 2 x $9.20 =   $74.37

36,375units /3,000 Use Activity 3  x $1.50=      $18.19

Total Overhead for Standart Product              $267.16

Deluxe Product Manufacturing Overhead

62,240units /5,250 Use Activity 1   x $12    =   $83,14  

62,240units /5,500 Use Activity 2 x $9.20 =   $60,85

62,240units /2,800 Use Activity 3  x $1.50=      $19,49

Total Overhead for Deluxe Product              $163.48
