The Cowie Corporation has a machining facility specializing in jobs for the space-shuttle components market. The prior job costing system had two direct cost categories (direct materials and direct manufacturing labor) and a single indirect cost pool (manufacturing overhead, allocated using direct labor-hours). The indirect cost allocation rate of the prior system for 2020 would have been $120 per direct manufacturing labor-hour. Recently, a team with members from product design, manufacturing, and accounting used an activity-based approach to refine its...

On Jan. 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger launched for its tenth and final mission. Seventy-three seconds into launch, the Challenger exploded with seven astronauts aboard, including Christa McAuliffe who had been selected to be the first teacher in space. After a lengthy investigation, NASA concluded that the shuttle was destroyed when a primary and secondary O-ring on a solid rocket booster failed to seal and seat properly. The seal design was faulty, and the problem was made worse by...

A computer manufacturer produces three types of computers: laptop, desktop, and tablet The manufacturer has designed their supply chain in such a way so that the final assembly of their computers entails putting together different quantities of the same parts. We will assume that the costs for parts unique to the model have already been accounted for in the reported per-unit profits, and that inventory levels for these other parts do not change the optimal allocation. We assume that there...
