Jaunkas Corp. manufactures mid-fi and hi-fi stereo receivers. The following data have been summarized:

Mid-Fi Hi-Fi

Direct materials cost per unit \( 400 \) 1,800

Direct labor cost per unit 600 400

Indirect manufacturing cost per unit ? ?

Indirect manufacturing cost information includes the following:

Activity

Predetermined

Overhead

Allocation Rate

Mid-Fi

Hi-Fi

Setup

\( 1,400 per setup

36 setups

36 setups

Inspection

\) 700 per inspection hour

35 inspection hours

20 inspection hours

Machine maintenance

$ 13 per machine hour

1,900 machine hours

1,150 machine hours

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

role="math" localid="1651119026428" totalindirectcost=setupcost+inspectioncost+machinemaintenancecost=$50,400+$24,500+$24,700=$99,600

02

Per unit product cost for Hi-Fi

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

Inspectioncost=predeterminedoverheadallocationrate×No.ofinspectionhour=$700×20=$14,000

Question:Newton Company has analyzed its production process and identified two primary activities. These activities, their allocation bases, and their estimated costs are listed below.

Activity

Allocation Base

Estimated Activity

Estimated Costs

Purchasing

Number of purchase orders

200 purchase orders

\( 10,000

Materials Handling

Number of parts

15,000 parts

\) 7,500

The company manufactures two products: Regular and Super. The products use the following resources in March:

Regular Super

Number of purchase orders 5 purchase orders 7 purchase orders

Number of parts 600 parts 750 parts

5. Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rates using activity-based costing.

6. Determine the amount of overhead allocated to Regular products in March.

7. Determine the amount of overhead allocated to Super products in March.

Which accounts are adjusted for the underallocated or overallocated overhead in JIT costing?

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

\) 980

Requirements

2. Danny does not like the idea of sharing the costs equally because he plans to stay in the room rather than ski. Danny suggests that each type of cost be allocated to each person based on the above-listed allocation bases. Using the activity allocation for each person, calculate the amount that each person would pay based on his own consumption of the activity.


Willette 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 \( 95,000 Number of kilos 19,000 kilos

Packaging 200,000 Number of machine hours 5,000 hours

Quality assurance 112,500 Number of samples 1,875 samples

Total indirect costs \) 407,500

Actual production information includes the following:

Commercial Containers Travel Packs

Units produced 2,400 containers 50,000 packs

Weight in kilos 9,600 5,000

Machine hours 1,680 500

Number of samples 240 750

Requirements

1. Willitte’s original single plantwide overhead allocation rate costing system allocated indirect costs to products at $81.50 per machine hour. Compute the total indirect costs allocated to the commercial containers and to the travel packs under the original system. Then compute the indirect cost per unit for each product. Round to two decimal places.

Question:Blanchette Plant Service completed a special landscaping job for Kerry Company. Blanchette uses ABC and has the following predetermined overhead allocation rates:

The Kerry job included \(750 in plants; \)1,300 in direct labor; one design; and 30 plants.

Requirements

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