Problem 6.11 (LO2) Activity-Based Costing Summit Surfboard produces two surfboards. One is a recreational model made from polyurethane foam covered with fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin. The other is a high performance competition board that uses carbon fiber instead of fiberglass. The carbon fiber boards are custom-made and require more hand finishing and setup time.

Most of the company’s sales come from the recreational model, but recently sales of the competition boards have been increasing. The following information is related to the products for the most recent year:

Vikki Mason, the president of Summit, is concerned that the traditional cost system used by Summit may not be providing accurate cost information and that the sales price of the competition surfboard might not be enough to cover its true cost.

Required

1. The traditional system that Summit is using assigns 83 percent of the $336,000 total overhead to the recreational surfboard because 83 percent of the direct labor dollars are spent on the recreational surfboards. Discuss why this might not be an accurate way to assign overhead to surfboards.
2. Discuss how Summit might be able to improve cost allocation by using an ABC system.
3. Assume that Summit retains a consultant to create an activity-based costing system, and the consultant develops the following data:

5. Determine the overhead allocation to each line of surfboards using an activity-based costing approach, and compute the total unit costs for each model surfboard. Round to two decimal places.
6. Discuss why activity-based allocations are different from those generated by the traditional allocation method used by Summit.

“Blast it!” said David Wilson, president of Teledex Company. “We’ve just lost the bid on the Koopers job by $3,000. It seems we’re either too high to get the job or too low to make any money on half the jobs we bid.”

Teledex Company manufactures products to customers’ specifications and uses a job-order costing system. The company uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost to apply its manufacturing overhead (assumed to be all fixed) to jobs. The following estimates were made at the beginning of the year:

Jobs require varying amounts of work in the three departments. The Koopers job, for example, would have required manufacturing costs in the three departments as follows:

Required:

1. Using the company's plantwide approach:

a. Compute the plantwide predetermined rate for the current year.

b. Determine the amount of manufacturing overhead cost that would have been applied to the Koopers job.

2. Suppose that instead of using a plantwide predetermined overhead rate, the company had used departmental predetermined overhead rates based on direct labor cost. Under these conditions:

a.Compute the predetermined overhead rate for each department for the current year.

b. Determine the amount of manufacturing overhead cost that would have been applied to the Koopers job.

4. Assume that it is customary in the industry to bid jobs at 150% of total manufacturing cost (direct materials, direct labor, and applied overhead).

a.What was the company’s bid price on the Koopers job using a plantwide predetermined overhead rate?

b.What would the bid price have been if departmental predetermined overhead rates had been used to apply overhead cost?
