Assume a company that uses activity-based costing (ABC) has only two products – A and B. The company does not have any organization-sustaining activities or unused capacity costs. The company’s total manufacturing overhead cost of $56,000 has been allocated to the three activities shown below:

	Setups			Machining			Packing Orders
Activity measure quantity: Product A		20			1,000			150
Activity measure quantity: Product B		20			?			350
Overhead cost per activity cost pool		?			?		$	10,000
Activity rate	$	150	per setup	$	8	per MH		?

If the company decided to use a plantwide overhead rate with machine-hours as the allocation base, what would be its plantwide overhead rate?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer:

Plantwide overhead rate = $ 11.20

Calculations:

If we complete the table, we get:

	Setups	Machining	Packing Orders
Activity measure quantity: Product A	20.0	1,000.0	150.0
Activity measure quantity: Product B	20.0	4,000.0	350.0
Overhead cost per activity cost pool	$ 6,000.0	$ 40,000.0	$ 10,000.0
Activity rate	$ 150.0	$ 8.0	$ 20.0

Note:

We can observe that total machine hours = 4,000 + 1000 = 5,000

Plantwide overhead rate = $ 56,000 / 5,000 = $ 11.2

In case of any doubt or clarification, you're welcome to come back via comments.
