Kulka Corporation manufactures two products Product F82D and Product TO5P. The company uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. It is considering implementing an activity-based costing (ABC) system that allocates its manufacturing overhead to four cost pools. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Products F82D and TO5P.
Using the ABC system, how much total manufacturing overhead cost would be assigned to Product TOSP?
Multiple Choice
$147,000
$304,500
$156,000
$303,000
Using the ABC system, total manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Product T05P = $303000
Calculation:
Activity rate:
1. Machining = Total cost / Total activity
= $180000 / 9000 machine-hours
= $20 per machine-hour
2. Machine-setups = Total cost / Total activity
= $125000 / 250 setups
= $500 per setup
3. Product design = Total cost / Total activity
= $44000 / 2 products
= $22000 per product
4. Order size = Total cost / Total activity
= $260000 / 10000 direct labor-hours
= $26 per direct labor-hour
ABC cost (Product T05P):
1. Machining = Machine-hours * Activity rate
= 4000 machine-hours * $20 per machine-hour
= $80000
2. Machine-setups = Number of setups * Activity rate
= 90 setups * $500 per setup
= $45000
3. Product design = Number of products * Activity rate
= 1 product * $22000 per product
= $22000
4. Order size = Direct labor-hours * Activity rate
= 6000 direct labor-hours * $26 per direct labor-hour
= $156000
Total manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Product T05P:
= $80000 + $45000 + $22000 + $156000
= $303000
