The Alexander Manufacturing Company in Rochester, Minnesota, assembles and tests electronic components used in smartphones. Consider the following data regarding component T24 (amounts are per unit):

Direct materials cost \( 81.00

Direct labor cost 21.00

Activity-based costs allocated ?

Total manufacturing product cost ?

The activities required to build the component follow:

Activity

Allocation Base

Cost Allocated to Each Unit

Start Station

Number of raw component chassis

3 X \)1.50 = \(4.50

Dip Insertion

Number of dip insertions

? X 0.50 = 14.50

Manual Insertion

Number of manual insertions

13 X 0.40 = ?

Wave solder

Number of components solders

3 X 1.50 = 4.50

Backload

Number of backload insertions

7 X ? = 2.80

Test

Number of testing hours

0.39 60.0 = ?

Defect analysis

Number of defect analysis hours

0.10 X ? = 4.00

Total activity-based costs

\) ?

Requirements

1. Complete the missing items for the two tables.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Activity based cost allocated: $58.9

Total manufacturing product cost: $160.9

No. of dip insertion: 29

Total Manual insertion cost: $5.2

Backload unit cost: $0.4

Total test cost: $23.4

Defect analysis unit cost: $40

Franklin, Inc. uses activity-based costing to account for its chrome bumper manufacturing process. Company managers have identified four manufacturing activities:

materials handling, machine setup, insertion of parts, and finishing. The budgeted activity costs for 2018 and their allocation bases are as follows:

Activity Total Budgeted Cost Allocation Base

Materials handling \( 12,000 Number of parts

Machine setup 3,100 Number of setups

Insertion of parts 42,000 Number of parts

Finishing 86,000 Finishing direct labor hours

Total \) 143,100

Franklin expects to produce 500 chrome bumpers during the year. The bumpers are expected to use 4,000 parts, require 10 setups, and consume 1,000 hours of finishing time.

Requirements

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