The company plans to manufacture 125 units of the mid-fi receivers and 250 units of the hi-fi receivers. Calculate the product cost per unit for both products using activity-based costing.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Per unit indirect cost

For Mid-Fi: $796.8

For Hi-Fi:$317.4

Step by step solution

01

Per unit product cost for Mid-Fi

setupcost=predeterminedoverheadallocationrate×No.ofsetups=$1,400×36=$50,400

Inspectioncost=predeterminedoverheadallocationrate×No.ofinspectionhour=$700×35=$24,500

machinemaintenancecost=predeterminedoverheadallocationrate×No.ofmachinehour=$13×1,900=$24,700

Clancy’s Carpet Cleaning Services uses ABC to allocate overhead costs and has computed the following predetermined overhead allocation rates:

Activity Allocation Base Allocation Rate

Supplies Number of square feet \( 0.05 per square foot

Travel Number of customer sites \) 20.00 per site

Clancy cleans the carpets for an apartment management firm. When a renter moves out, the apartment management firm contacts Clancy to clean the carpets in preparation for a new tenant. During the past month, Clancy cleaned the carpets of 23 apartments with 1,200 square feet each. What amount of indirect costs should Clancy allocate to the apartment firm for the month?

3. If PetSmart desires a 30% target operating income after covering all its costs, what would PetSmart have to charge the customer to achieve that operating income?

Question:The Santos Shirt Company manufactures shirts in two departments: Cutting and Sewing. The company allocates manufacturing overhead using a single plantwide rate with direct labor hours as the allocation base. Estimated overhead costs for the year are\(500,000, and estimated direct labor hours are 200,000. In June, the company incurred 17,500 direct labor hours.

1. Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rate.

2. Determine the amount of overhead allocated in June.

The Santos Shirt Company has refined its allocation system by separating manufacturing overhead costs into two cost pools—one for each department. The estimated costs for the Cutting Department are \)200,000. They will be allocated based on directlabor hours, which are estimated to be 125,000 hours for the year. The estimated costs for the Sewing Department are $300,000.Those costs will be allocated based on machine hours, which are estimated to be 150,000 hours for the year. In June, the companyincurred 10,000 direct labor hours in Cutting and 12,500 machine hours in Sewing.

3. Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rates for each department.

4. Determine the total amount of overhead allocated in June.

2. Suppose that pre-manufacturing activities, such as product design, were assigned to the standard bookcases at \(5 each and to the unfinished bookcases at \)3 each. Similar analyses were conducted of post-manufacturing activities such as distribution, marketing, and customer service. The post-manufacturing costs were \(20 per standard bookcase and \)18 per unfinished bookcase. Compute the full product costs per unit.
