Question

Fenway Electronics produces video games in three market categories: commercial, home, and miniature. Fenway has traditionally allocated overhead costs to the three products using the companywide allocation base of direct labor hours. The company recently implemented an ABC system when it installed computer-controlled assembly stations that rendered the traditional costing system ineffective. In implementing the ABC system, the company identified the following activity cost pools and cost drivers:
Total Pooled
Category Cost Types of Costs Cost Driver
Unit $360,000 Indirect labor wages, supplies, factory utilities,
machine maintenance Machine hours
Batch 194,400 Materials handling, inventory storage, labor for
setups,packaging, labeling and shipping, Number of
scheduling production
orders
Product 105,600 Research and development Time spent
by research
department
Facility 300,000 Rent, general utilities, maintenance, facility
depreciation, admin. salaries Square

Additional data for each of the product lines follow:

Required:
1. Determine the total cost and cost per unit for each product line, assuming that overhead costs are allocated to each product line using direct labor hours as a companywide allocation base. Also determine the combined cost of all three product lines.
3. Determine the total cost and cost per unit for each product line, assuming that an ABC system is used to allocate overhead costs. Determine the combined cost of all three product lines.
