Question

Hickory Company manufactures two products—15,000 units of Product Y and 7,000 units of Product Z. The company uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. It is considering implementing an activity-based costing (ABC) system that allocates all $597,000 of its manufacturing overhead to four cost pools. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Products Y and Z:

Activity Cost Pool	Activity Measure	Estimated Overhead Cost		Expected Activity
Machining	Machine-hours	$	213,400	11,000	MHs
Machine setups	Number of setups	$	61,600	140	setups
Product design	Number of products	$	78,000	2	products
General factory	Direct labor-hours	$	244,000	13,200	DLHs

Activity Measure	Product Y	Product Z
Machine-hours	6,400	4,600
Number of setups	60	80
Number of products	1	1
Direct labor-hours	7,400	5,800

12. Using the ABC system, what percentage of the Machining costs is assigned to Product Y and Product Z? (Round your "Percentage" answers to 2 decimal places.)

13. Using the ABC system, what percentage of Machine Setups cost is assigned to Product Y and Product Z? (Round your "Percentage" answers to 2 decimal places.)

14. Using the ABC system, what percentage of the Product Design cost is assigned to Product Y and Product Z?

15. Using the ABC system, what percentage of the General Factory cost is assigned to Product Y and Product Z? (Round your "Percentage" answers to 2 decimal place.)
