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?

Maggie bought a house which was quite a dump in 1989 for $75,000. She fixed it up with paint and wallpaper but in 1996 she did a major renovation which cost $50,000. In 1993, she bought a dump of a cottage for $35,000 because it was both on a lake and near some good cross-country ski trails. She winterized it immediately for $10,000. Over time, the dumpy cottage has become quite attractive with the addition of a new roof, siding, windows and doors all of which cost $15,000 in 1995. In addition, she is fond of landscaping and has created quite a beautiful garden. I might add that Maggie has only $40,000 in RRSPs since she prefers to sink her money into her living space.

In July 2006, Maggie lost her job and received $60,000 in severance pay. She put as much as she could into her RRSP (included in the $40,000 above) and put the rest in GICs to help finance her plan. Maggie had been taking courses for several years to become a Master Gardener.

When she lost her job, she decided to live out her dream of having a gardening business where she would design gardens for others with cottages near her and maintain them if they needed it because they mostly come to their cottages on the weekend to relax. In the winter, she will keep the lanes clear (with her snow blower) and check up on the cottages now and again. She gave her corporate clothes to her friend Kate with the proviso that she could stay with her when she comes to the City (which won’t be often because she is very fed up).

When she lost her job, she immediately started renting out the house for $1,600 a month plus utilities. She still has to pay the $2,400 a year taxes and maintenance but figures the house will be her retirement fund. When she started renting out the house, it immediately ceased to be her principal residence – her cottage is now her principal residence. In July 2006, her house was worth $300,000 and the cottage is worth $140,000.

Questions:

a.     Maggie’s house increases in value at about 3% a year from 2006 and she sells it in 2017. How much is her taxable capital gain on the house ignoring real estate commissions?

b.    Maggie’s cottage also increases 3% a year in value. If she also sells it in 2017 in order to buy a bed and breakfast, how much is her taxable capital gain?
