Co has an activity-based costing system with three activity cost pools--Fixing, Cutting, and Other. In the first stage allocations, costs in the two overhead accounts, equipment depreciation and factory expense, are allocated to three activity cost pools based on resource consumption. Data used in the first stage allocations follow: Overhead costs: Factory depreciation $79,600 Indirect labor $5,000 Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activity Cost Pools: Activity Cost Pools Fixing Cutting Other Equipment depreciation 0.50 0.30 0.20 Factory expense 0.30 0.50 0.20 Fixing costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Cutting costs are assigned to products using the number of orders. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data for the company's two products follow: Machine-hours (Fixing) Orders (Cutting) Product A 1,550 1,070 Product B 9,700 1,630 The activity rate for the Cutting activity cost pool under activity-based costing is closest to (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal place) Select one: o a. none of the given answer. o b. $9.40 per order c. $9.77 per order d. $94.00 per order e. $6.83 per order

Using the data from Exercise 6.18, compute the equivalent units of production for each of the four departments using the FIFO method. The following data are for four independent process-costing departments. Inputs are added continuously.
The cost behavior patterns below are lettered A through H. The vertical axes of the graphs represent total dollars of expense, and the horizontal axes represent production in units, machine hours, or direct labor hours. In each case, the zero point is at the intersection of the two axes. Each graph may be used no more than once. Required: Select the graph that matches the lettered cost described here. a. Depreciation of equipmentthe amount of depreciation charged is computed based on the number of machine hours that the equipment was operated. b. Electricity billflat fixed charge, plus a variable cost after a certain number of kilowatt hours are used. c. City water billcomputed as follows: d. Depreciation of equipmentthe amount is computed by the straight-line method. e. Rent on a factory building donated by the citythe agreement calls for a fixed fee payment, unless 200,000 labor hours are worked, in which case no rent need be paid. f. Salaries of repair workersone repair worker is needed for every 1,000 machine hours or less (i.e., 0 to 1,000 hours requires one repair worker, 1,001 to 2,000 hours requires two repair workers, etc.).
Roberts Company produces two weed eaters: basic and advanced. The company has four activities: machining, engineering, receiving, and inspection. Information on these activities and their drivers is given below. Overhead costs: Required: 1. Calculate the four activity rates. 2. Calculate the unit costs using activity rates. Also, calculate the overhead cost per unit. 3. What if consumption ratios instead of activity rates were used to assign costs instead of activity rates? Show the cost assignment for the inspection activity.
Refer to the data given in Problem 4.36 and suppose that the expected activity costs are reported as follows (all other data remain the same): The per unit overhead cost using the 14 activity-based drivers is 1,108 and 779 for Cylinder A and Cylinder B, respectively. Required: 1. Determine the percentage of total costs represented by the three most expensive activities. 2. Allocate the costs of all other activities to the three activities identified in Requirement 1. Allocate the other activity costs to the three activities in proportion to their individual activity costs. Now assign these total costs to the products using the drivers of the three chosen activities. 3. Using the costs assigned in Requirement 2, calculate the percentage error using the ABC costs as a benchmark. Comment on the value and advantages of this ABC simplification.
Frenchys has three cost pools and an associated cost driver to allocate the costs to the product. The cost pools, cost driver, estimated overhead, and estimated activity for the cost pool are: What is the predetermined overhead rate for each activity?
Sanford, Inc., has developed value-added standards for four activities: purchasing parts, receiving parts, moving parts, and setting up equipment. The activities, the activity drivers, the standard and actual quantities, and the price standards for 20x1 are as follows: The actual prices paid per unit of each activity driver were equal to the standard prices. Required: 1. Prepare a cost report that lists the value-added, non-value-added, and actual costs for each activity. 2. Which activities are non-value-added? Explain why. Also, explain why value-added activities can have non-value-added costs.

Calculate the error relative to the fully specified ABC product cost and comment on the outcome. 3. What if activities 1, 2, 5, and 8 each had a cost of 650,000 and the remaining activities had a cost of 50,000? Calculate the cost assigned to Wafer A by a fully specified ABC system and then by an approximately relevant ABC approach. Comment on the implications for the approximately relevant approach.
