Mello Manufacturing Company is a diversified manufacturer that manufactures three products (Alpha, Beta, and Omega) in a continuous production process. Senior management has asked the controller to conduct an activity-based costing study. The controller identified the amount of factory overhead required by the critical activities of the organization as follows:
|
1 |
Activity |
Activity Cost Pool |
|
2 |
Production |
$251,598.00 |
|
3 |
Setup |
92,035.00 |
|
4 |
Material handling |
10,736.00 |
|
5 |
Inspection |
49,833.00 |
|
6 |
Product engineering |
136,230.00 |
|
7 |
Total |
$540,432.00 |
The activity bases identified for each activity are as follows:
| Activity | Activity Base |
|---|---|
| Production | Machine hours |
| Setup | Number of setups |
| Material handling | Number of parts |
| Inspection | Number of inspection hours |
| Product engineering | Number of engineering hours |
The activity-base usage quantities and units produced for the three products were determined from corporate records and are as follows:
| Machine | Number of | Number of | Number of | Number of | ||
| Hours | Setups | Parts | Inspection Hours | Engineering Hours | Units | |
| Alpha | 970 | 63 | 84 | 489 | 123 | 1,354 |
| Beta | 802 | 123 | 138 | 272 | 170 | 1,044 |
| Omega | 435 | 209 | 266 | 256 | 185 | 452 |
| Total | 2,207 | 395 | 488 | 1,017 | 478 | 2,850 |
Each product requires 40 minutes per unit of machine time.
