Turbo Champs Corp. uses activity-based costing to account for its motorcycle manufacturing process. Company managers have identified three supporting manufacturing activities: inspection, machine setup, and machine maintenance. The budgeted activity costs for 2018 and their allocation bases are as follows:

Activity Total Budgeted Cost Allocation Base

Inspections \( 5,700 Number of inspections

Machine setup 22,000 Number of setups

Machine maintenance 6,000 Finishing of machine hours

Total \) 33,700

Turbo Champs expects to produce 20 custom-built motorcycles for the year. The motorcycles are expected to require 100 inspections, 40 setups, and 100 machine hours.

Requirements

1. Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rate for each activity.

Martin, Inc. manufactures bookcases and uses an activity-based costing system. Martin’s activity areas and related data follow:

Koehler (see Exercise E19-15 and Exercise E19-16) makes handheld calculators in two models—basic and professional—and wants to further refine its costing system by allocating overhead using activity-based costing. The estimated \(721,000 of manufacturing overhead has been divided into three primary activities: Materials Handling, Machine Setup, and Insertion of Parts. The following data have been compiled:

Koehler expects to produce 200,000 basic models and 200,000 professional models. Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rates using activity-based costing. How much overhead is allocated to the basic model? To the professional model?

Bubba and Danny are college friends planning a skiing trip to Killington before the new year. They estimated the following for the trip:

Estimated Activity Allocation

Costs Allocation Base Bubba Danny

Food \( 400 Pounds of food eaten 24 26

Skiing 300 Number of lift tickets 2 0

Lodging 280 Number of nights 2 2

\) 980

Requirements

2. Danny does not like the idea of sharing the costs equally because he plans to stay in the room rather than ski. Danny suggests that each type of cost be allocated to each person based on the above-listed allocation bases. Using the activity allocation for each person, calculate the amount that each person would pay based on his own consumption of the activity.

Harris Systems specializes in servers for workgroup, e-commerce, and ERP applications. The company’s original job costing system has two direct cost categories: direct materials and direct labor. Overhead is allocated to jobs at the single rate of \(22 per direct labor hour.

A task force headed by Harris’s CFO recently designed an ABC system with four activities. The ABC system retains the current system’s two direct cost categories. Overhead costs are reflected in the four activities. Pertinent data follow:

___________________________________________________________________

Activity Allocation Base Predetermined Overhead

Allocation Rate____

Materials handling Number of parts \) 0.85

Machine setup Number of setups 500.00

Assembling Number of assembling hours 80.00

Harris Systems has been awarded two new contracts, which will be produced as Job A and Job B. Budget data relating to the contracts follow:

____________________________________________________________

Job A Job B__

Number of parts 15,000 2,000

Number of setups 6 4

Number of assembling hours 1,500 200

Number of shipments 1 1

Total direct labor hours 8,000 600

Number of units produced 100 10

Direct materials cost \( 220,000 \) 30,000

Direct labor cost \( 160,000 \) 12,000__

Requirements

2. Suppose Harris Systems adopts the ABC system. Compute the budgeted product cost per unit for each job using ABC.
