Use ABC to allocate manufacturing overhead (Learning Objective 2)Several years after reengineering its production process, King Corporation hired a new controller, Christine Erickson . She developed an ABC system very similar to the one used by King's chief rival. Part of the reason Erickson developed the ABC system was because King's profits had been declining, even though the company had shifted its product mix toward the product that had appeared most profitable under the old system . Before adopting the new ABC system, the company had used a plantwide overhead rate, based on direct labor hours developed years ago .For the upcoming year, King's budgeted ABC manufacturing overhead allocation rates are as follows :ActivityMaterials handling .......................... Machine setup ................................ Insertion of parts ............................

- FA-22A Using ABC to bill clients at a service firm (Learning Objective 2) Kushner & Company is an architectural firm specializing in home remodeling for private clients and new office buildings for corporate clients. Kushner charges customers at a billing rate equal to 130% of the client's total job cost. A client's total job cost is a combination of (1) professional time spent on the client ($63 per hour cost of employing each professional) and (2) operating overhead allocated to the client's job. Kushner allocates operating overhead to jobs based on professional hours spent on the job. Kushner estimates its five professionals will incur a total of 10,000 professional hours working on client jobs during the year.
