Tristar Manufacturing produces two types of battery-operated toy soldiers: infantry and special forces. The soldiers are produced by using one continuous process. Four activities have been identified: machining, setups, receiving, and packing. Resource drivers have been used to assign costs to each activity. The overhead activities, their costs, and the other related data are as follows:

Product

Machine Hours

Setups

Receiving Orders

Packing Orders

Infantry

20,000

300

900

1,600

Special forces

20,000

100

100

800

Costs

$80,000

$24,000

$18,000

$30,000

Required:

  1. Calculate the total overhead assigned to each product by using only machine hours to calculate a plantwide rate.
  2. Calculate consumption ratios for each activity. (Round to two decimal places.)
  3. Calculate a rate for each activity by using the associated driver. (Round to two decimal places.)
  4. Assign the overhead costs to each product by using the activity rates computed in Requirement 3.
  5. Conceptual Connection Comment on the difference between the assignment in Requirement 1 and the activity-based assignment.

Consider an economy that produces manufacturing goods and R&D services with two types of high skilled workers (Engineers and Scientists) and one type of low-skilled workers. The production technology for R&D services is high-skill-labor intensive, while manufacturing is low-skill intensive. In the medium-run, engineers are stuck in the manufacturing sector and Scientists are stuck in the R&D but the low-skilled workers can move between the two sectors. In the long-run, however, all factors are mobile. Suppose that this economy opens...
