base.

c. Compute the predetermined overhead rate for year 2 for each cost driver using the estimated costs and estimated cost driver units
prepared by the controller's staff to be used in an ABC system.
d. Compute the per unit production costs for each product for January using the cost drivers recommended by the consultant and the
predetermined rates computed in requirement (c). (Note: Do not assume that total overhead applied to products in January will be
the same for activity-based costing as it was for the labor-hour-based allocation.)

Fisher Fixtures manufactures three types of lighting fixtures, with model names of Silver, Gold, and Platinum. It applies all indirect costs
according to an annual predetermined rate based on direct labor-hours. The plant controller has recommended that the company
switch to an activity-based costing system. The controller's staff prepared the following cost estimates for next year (year 2) for the
recommended cost drivers.
Activity
Purchasing material
Receiving material
Setting up equipment
Machine depreciation and maintenance
Ensuring regulatory compliance
Shipping
Total estimated cost
Number of units produced
Direct labor-hours
In addition, management estimated 45,000 direct labor-hours for year 2.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Hi student

Since there are multiple subparts, we will answer only first three subparts.

Overhead costs means all type of indirect costs being incurred in business. These costs can not be allocated directly to products and services. Some cost driver needs to be used for overhead costs allocation.
