Activity cost pool Machine setup Materials handling Machine depreciation Activity cost driver Number of setups Number of parts Machine hours (mh) Cost assigned to pool 260000 580000 600000 Standard product 60 setups 14000 parts 2 mh per product Custom product 40 setups 12000 parts 4mh per product the company produced 14 000 basic products and 10000 custom product. compute the activity overhead rate for each cost pool using ABC.
(A) Cost statement: | No. of activity cost driver | Total no. of activity cost driver | |||||||
Standard Product | Custom Product | ||||||||
Activity cost pool | Activity cost driver | Cost assigned to pool | |||||||
Machine setups | Number of setups | $ 2,60,000 | 60 | Setups | 40 | Setups | 100 | Setups | |
Material handling | Nmber of parts | $ 5,80,000 | 14,000 | parts | 12,000 | parts | 26,000 | parts | |
Machine depreciation | Machine hours(mh) | $ 6,00,000 | 2 | mh | 4 | mh | 6 | mh | |
(B) | |||||||||
Activity overhead rate | = | Cost assigned to pool/Total no. of actiivty cost driver | |||||||
Activity cost pool: | |||||||||
Machine setups | $ 2,60,000 | / | 100 | Setups | = | $ 2,600.00 | per | Setup | |
Material handling | $ 5,80,000 | / | 26,000 | parts | = | $ 22.31 | per | part | |
Machine depreciation | $ 6,00,000 | / | 6 | mh | = | $1,00,000.00 | per | mh | |
Thus, activity overhead rate for each cost pool using ABC: | |||||||||
Machine setups | $ 2,600.00 | per | Setup | ||||||
Material handling | $ 22.31 | per | part | ||||||
Machine depreciation | $ 1,00,000.00 | per | mh | ||||||
