Question

Arntson, Inc., manufactures and sells two products: Product R3 and Product N0. The annual production and sales of Product of R3 is 1,100 units and of Product N0 is 400 units. Data concerning the expected production of each product and the expected total direct labor-hours (DLHs) required to produce that output appear below: Expected Production Direct Labor-Hours Per Unit Total Direct Labor-Hours Product R3 1,100 10.0 11,000 Product N0 400 5.0 2,000 Total direct labor-hours 13,000 The direct labor rate is $20.60 per DLH. The direct materials cost per unit is $211.00 for Product R3 and $287.00 for Product N0. The company is considering adopting an activity-based costing system with the following activity cost pools, activity measures, and expected activity: Estimated Expected Activity Activity Cost Pools Activity Measures Overhead Cost Product R3 Product N0 Total Labor-related DLHs $ 40,636 11,000 2,000 13,000 Production orders orders 65,880 1,200 400 1,600 Order size MHs 433,075 3,900 3,700 7,600 $ 539,591 The unit product cost of Product R3 under activity-based costing is closest to

Answer 1

Answer:

$695.24 per unit

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what The unit product cost of Product R3 under activity-based costing is closest to

First step is to Calculate Activity rates

Activity Cost Pool Activity driver Overhead Cost (A) Expected Activity (B) Activity rate (A/B)

Labor related Number of DLH $ 40,636÷13,000 = 3.13 Per DLH

Production orders Number of Order 65,880÷ 1,600= 41.18 Per Order

Order size Number of MH 433,075÷ 7,600 = 56.98 Per MH

Second step is to calculate the Cost assigned to Product R3

Cost assigned to Product R3

Activity name Activity Rates Activity ABC Cost

(A) (B) (A x B)

Labor related 3.13 * 11,000 =$34,430

Production orders 41.18* 1,200=$49,416

Order size 56.98*3,900= $222,222

Total Overheads assigned $306,068

($34,430+$49,416+$222,222)

Production 1,100

Overhead cost per unit $278.24

Product R3

Direct material $211

Direct labor (10x $20.60 per DLH) $206

Overheads $278.24

Total Cost per unit $695.24

($211+$206+$278.24)

Therefore The unit product cost of Product R3 under activity-based costing is closest to $695.24 per unit
