Southwest Components recently switched to activity-based costing from the department allocation method. The Fabrication Department manager has estimated the following cost drivers and rates:
| Activity Centers | Cost Drivers |
Rate per Cost Driver Unit |
||
| Materials handling | Pounds of material handled | $ | 18 | per pound |
| Quality inspections | Number of inspections | $ | 220 | per inspection |
| Machine setups | Number of machine setups | $ | 2,900 | per setup |
| Running machines | Number of machine-hours | $ | 25.00 | per hour |
Direct materials costs were $287,000 and direct labor costs were $146,000 during July, when the Fabrication Department handled 3,600 pounds of materials, made 780 inspections, had 30 setups, and ran the machines for 14,000 hours.
Required:
Use T-accounts to show the flow of materials, labor, and overhead costs from the four overhead activity centers through Work-in-Process Inventory and out to Finished Goods Inventory.
