Lakeside Inc. manufactures four lines of remote control boats and uses activity-based costing to calculate product cost.
Activity Cost Pools | Estimated Total Cost | Estimated Cost Driver | ||
Machining | $ | 330,000 | 12,100 | machine hours |
Setup | 75,000 | 380 | batches | |
Quality control | 94,000 | 760 | inspections | |
Suppose the Luxury boat requires 4,050 machine hours, 205 inspections, and 58 batches. Using activity proportions, determine the amount of overhead assigned to the Luxury product line. (Round your intermediate calculations to the nearest whole percentage and your final answer to the nearest whole number.)
Step-1:Calculate activity rate | |||||||
Activity Cost Pools | Estimated Total costs | Estimated cost driver | Activity rate | ||||
a | b | a/b | |||||
Machining | $ 3,30,000 | $ 12,100 | machine hours | $ 27.27 | per machine hour | ||
Setup | $ 75,000 | $ 380 | batches | $ 197.37 | per batch | ||
Quality Control | $ 94,000 | $ 760 | inspections | $ 123.68 | per inspection | ||
Step-2:Calculate Overhead cost assignment of Luxury Boat | |||||||
Activity Cost Pools | Estimated cost driver | x | Activity rate | = | Estimated Total costs | ||
Machining | 4,050 | $ 27.27 | $ 1,10,455 | ||||
Setup | 58 | $ 197.37 | $ 11,447 | ||||
Quality Control | 205 | $ 123.68 | $ 25,355 | ||||
$ 1,47,257 | |||||||
Thus, Overhead Assignment to Luxury Boat is | $ 1,47,257 | ||||||
