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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Per unit indirect cost

For Product A: $106

For Product B: $501

Step by step solution

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?

Stegall, Inc. manufactures motor scooters. For each of the following examples of quality costs, indicate which of the following quality cost categories each example represents: prevention costs, appraisal costs, internal failure costs, or external failure costs.

1. Preventive maintenance on machinery

2. Direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead incurred to rework a defective scooter that is detected in-house through inspection

3. Lost profits from lost sales if the companyโ€™s reputation is hurt because customers previously purchased a poor-quality scooter

4. Cost of inspecting raw materials, such as chassis and wheels

5. Working with suppliers to achieve on-time delivery of defect-free raw materials

6. Cost of warranty repairs on a scooter that malfunctions at a customerโ€™s location

7. Costs of testing durability of vinyl

8. Cost to reinspect reworked scooters

What is a just-in-time management system?

The Alright 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 \( 80.00

Direct labor cost 20.00

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 4 * \) 1.50 = \( 6.00

Dip insertion Number of dip insertions ? * 0.30 = 9.60

Manual insertion Number of manual insertions 10 * 0.50 = ?

Wave solder Number of components soldered 4 * 1.90 = 7.60

Backload Number of backload insertions 7 * ? = 4.20

Test Number of testing hours 0.43 * 90.00 = ?

Defect analysis Number of defect analysis hours 0.15 * ? = 12.00

Total activity-based costs \) ?

Requirements

2. Why might managers favor this ABC system instead of Alrightโ€™s older system, which allocated all manufacturing overhead costs on the basis of direct labor hours?

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.
