Delicioso Ltd manufactures two types of Microwave Ovens – Conventional and Integrated. The company is currently using a traditional costing system with machine hours as the cost driver. The company is considering whether to use the activity-based costing (ABC) method to allocate overhead costs to products. Budgeted overhead costs of the upcoming accounting period follow:
Activity |
Total budgeted activity cost |
Activity driver |
Machining |
$300,000 |
Number of machine hours |
Setup |
$100,000 |
Number of production runs |
Inspection |
$105,000 |
Number of inspection hours |
The activity level for the year is: Conventional Integrated
Annual production in units 50,000 100,000
Direct material cost $150,000 $300,000
Direct labour costs $50,000 $100,000
Direct labour hours 2,500 5,000
Machine hours 25,000 50,000

Inspection hours 1,000 500
