Requirements

1. Compute the manufacturing product cost per unit of each type of bookcase.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Manufacturing cost per unit

For Standard bookcase: $72

For Unfinished bookcase: $50

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step-SolutionStep 1: Computation of manufacturing product cost for Standard bookcase

Totalmaterialhandlingcost=Predeterminedoverheadallocationrate×No.ofpartsusedforstandatrdbookcase=$1.5×9,000=$13,500

Totalassemblingcost=Predeterminedoverheadallocationrate×No.ofassemblingdirectlaborhoursforstandatrdbookcase=$16×4,500=$72,000

Totalfinishingcost=Predeterminedoverheadallocationrate×No.offinishedunitsforstandatrdbookcase=$3×3,000=$9,000

Totaloverheadcost=Totalmaterialcost+Totalassemblingcost+Totalfinishingcost=$13,500+$72,000+$9,000=$94,500

Computation of manufacturing product cost for Unfinished bookcase


Totalmaterialhandlingcost=Predeterminedoverheadallocationrate×No.ofpartsusedforunfinishedbookcase=$1.5×7,000=$10,500

Totalassemblingcost=Predeterminedoverheadallocationrate×No.ofassemblingdirectlaborhoursforunfinishedbookcase=$16×3,500=$56,000

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

2. Compute the expected indirect manufacturing cost of each bumper.

Koehler makes handheld calculators in two models: basic and professional. Koehler estimated $721,000 of manufacturing overhead and 515,000 machine hours for the year. The basic model actually consumed 230,000 machine hours, and the professional model consumed 285,000 machine hours.

Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rate using machine hours (MHr) as the allocation base. How much overhead is allocated to the basic model? To the professional model?

Darby Corp. is considering the use of activity-based costing. The following information is provided for the production of two product lines:

Activity Cost Allocation Base

Setup \( 105,000 Number of setups

Machine maintenance 60,000 Number of machine hours

Total indirect manufacturing costs \) 165,000

Product A Product B Total

Direct labor hours 7,000 5,000 12,000

Number of setups 30 170 200

Number of machine hours 1,600 2,400 4,000

Darby plans to produce 375 units of Product A and 250 units of Product B. Compute the ABC indirect manufacturing cost per unit for each product.

Rennie Plant Service completed a special landscaping job for Brenton Company. rennie uses ABC and has the following predetermined overhead allocation rates:

Activity Predetermined

Allocation Base Overhead Allocation Rate

Designing Number of designs \( 290 per design

Planting Number of plants \) 20 per plant

The Rennie job included \(1,500 in plants; \)800 in direct labor; one design; and 30 plants.

Requirements

1. What is the total cost of the Brenton job?

Eason Company manufactures wheel rims. The controller expects the following ABC allocation rates for 2018:

Activity Allocation Base Predetermined Overhead

Allocation Rate

Materials handling Number of parts $ 4.00 per part

Machine setup Number of setups 400.00 per setup

Insertion of parts Number of parts 26.00 per part

Finishing Number of finishing hours 90.00 per hour

Eason produces two wheel rim models: standard and deluxe. Expected data for 2018 are as follows:

Standard Deluxe

Parts per rim 4.0 7.0

Setups per 500 rims 18.0 18.0

Finishing hours per rim 1.0 5.5

Total direct hours per rim 5.0 6.0

The company expects to produce 500 units of each model during the year.

Requirements

3. Compute the estimated ABC indirect manufacturing cost per unit of each model for 2018. Carry each cost to the nearest cent.
