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

Refer to Exercise E19-20. For 2019, Eason’s managers have decided to use the same indirect manufacturing costs per wheel rim that they computed in 2018 using activity based costing. In addition to the unit indirect manufacturing costs, the following data are expected for the company’s standard and deluxe models for 2019:

Standard Deluxe

Sales price \( 800.00 \) 940.00

Direct materials 31.00 48.00

Direct labor 45.00 52.00

Because of limited machine hour capacity, Eason can produce either2,000 standard rims or2,000 deluxe rims.

Requirements

1. If Eason’s managers rely on the ABC unit cost data computed in Exercise E19-20, which model will they produce? Carry each cost to the nearest cent. (Ignore selling and administrative expenses for this calculation.)

Harcourt Pharmaceuticals manufactures an over-the-counter allergy medication. The company sells both large commercial containers of 1,000 capsules to health care facilities and travel packs of 20 capsules to shops in airports, train stations, and hotels. The following information has been developed to determine if an activity-based costing system would be beneficial:

Activity Estimated Estimated Quantity

Indirect Cost Allocation Base of Allocation Base

Materials handling \( 96,000 Number of kilos 24,000 kilos

Packaging 210,000 Number of machine hours 3,000 hours

Quality assurance 114,000 Number of samples 1,900 samples

Total indirect costs \) 420,000

Other production information includes the following:

Commercial Containers Travel Packs

Units produced 2,800 containers 51,000 packs

Weight in kilos 9,800 5,100

Machine hours 1,960 510

Number of samples 560 765

Requirements

4. Compare the indirect activity-based costs per unit to the indirect costs per unit from the traditional system. How have the unit costs changed? Explain why the costs changed as they did.
