Atlanta Systems produces two different products, Product A, which sells for $450 per unit, and Product B, which sells for $800 per unit, using three different activities: Design, which uses Engineering Hours as an activity driver; Machining, which uses machine hours as an activity driver; and Inspection, which uses number of batches as an activity driver. The cost of each activity and usage of the activity drivers are as follows: Usage by Product A Usage by Product B Cost Design (Engineering Hours) Machining (Machine Hours) Inspection (Batches) $ 190,000 $1,800,000 $ 108 142 2,160 2,840 160,000 42 38 8 Atlanta manufactures 12,500 units of Product A and 10,200 units of Product B per month. Each unit of Product A uses $100 of direct materials and $45 of direct labor, while each unit of Product B uşes $140 of direct materials and $75 of direct labor.
QUESTION 9 Put the following steps in an Activity-Based-Costing system in the proper order. v Calculate a predetermined overhead rate. Identify a logical cost driver as an allocation base for each cost pool. Allocate the costs to the cost object by multiplying the predetermined overhead rate by the actual amount of the cost driver used by the cost object. v Separate total overhead into cost pools.

! Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] For many years, Thomson Company manufactured a single product called LEC 40. Then three years ago, the company automated a portion of its plant and at the same time introduced a second product called LEC 90 that has become increasingly popular. The LEC 90 is a more complex product, requiring 0.60 hours of direct labor time per unit to manufacture and extensive machining in the automated portion of the plant. The LEC 40 requires only 0.20 hours of direct labor time per unit and only a small amount of machining. Manufacturing overhead costs are currently assigned to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. Despite the growing popularity of the company's new LEC 90, profits have been declining steadily. Management is beginning to believe that there may be a problem with the company's costing system. Direct material and direct labor costs per unit are as follows: Direct materials Direct labor…
