Using Activity Based Costing, how much overhead is assigned to Jackets each year?

Expert Solution

In absorption costing, overheads are allocated in proportion to production volumes.

On th contrary, Activity Based Costing allocates overheads on the basis of the factors driving the overheads (cost drivers).

Given in question
Cost pool	Amount $	Cost driver	Jackets	Cardigans	Total
Setup	40,000	Number of setups	10	40	50
Machining	400,000	Machining hours	3,000	5,000	8,000
Packing	100,000	Orders packed	110	90	200
Total	540,000		3,120	5,130	8,250

Assignment of overheads based on Activity Based Costing i.e. using cost drivers:

Cost pool	Jackets	Cardigans	Total $
Setup	$ 8,000 [10/50 X 40,000]	$ 32,000 [40/50 X 40,000]	$ 40,000
Machining	$150,000 *[3,000/8,000 X 400,000]*	$250,000 *[5,000/8,000 X 400,000]*	$400,000
Packing	$ 55,000 *[110/200 X 100,000]*	$ 45,000 *[90/200 X 100,000]*	$100,000
Total	$213,000	$327,000	$540,000

Using ABC, overheads assigned to Jackets in $213,000.
