Saddle Inc. has two types of handbags: standard and custom. The controller has decided to use a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor costs. The president has heard of activity-based costing and wants to see how the results would differ if this system were used. Two activity cost pools were developed: machining and machine setup. Presented below is information related to the company's operations. Direct labor costs Machine hours Setup hours Standard $50,000 1,500 90 Custom $100,000 1,200 420 Total estimated overhead costs are $285,900. Overhead cost allocated to the machining activity cost pool is $189,000, and $96,900 is allocated to the machine setup activity cost pool. Part a) Compute the overhead rates using the activity-based costing approach. (i.e. $ per machine hour and $ per setup hour). Part b) Determine the difference in allocation between the two approaches. Traditional costing (standard and custom) Activity-based costing (standard and custom).

Shalom Company uses traditional costing method in allocating overhead. When you presented the idea of activity-based costing, the manager became interested and showed you details of its current costing method: Overhead using Products Traditional Allocation Peace Piss Piece 460,000 540,000 920,000 Cost drivers 40,000 30,000 90,000 1,920,000 The manager wants a report that shows comparison of the two costing methods. You began your analysis and applied activity-based costing. What product line/s had an overstated overhead cost?
Fountain Water Products (FWP) manufacturers water bottles. They have historically used a traditional system that allocated the manufacturing overhead costs based on machine hours. FWP is looking at switching to an ABC system in order to ensure more accurate product costing. They first want to compare the traditional and ABC costing systems to determine if it is worth the effort and costs to implement and maintain. They estimate a total overhead cost of $459,000. Under the traditional system they identified machine hours as the cost driver, and estimated a total of 51,000 machine hours. They actually incurred 48,700 machine hours in production. The total applied MOH calculated under the more precise ABC system was $320,000. The ABC costing system will cost $50,000 to implement. FWP has determined that a benefit of more accurate costing by $80,000 is worth the $50,000 implementation cost. What is the difference between the ABC costing and traditional system? Enter your number as a…

Julio produces two types of calculator, standard and deluxe. The company is currently using a traditional costing system with machine hours as the cost driver but is considering a move to activity-based costing. In preparing for the possible switch, Julio has identified two cost pools: materials handling and setup. The collected data follow: Standard Model Deluxe Model Number of machine hours 25,800 30,800 Number of material moves Number of setups 590 890 70 540 Total estimated overhead costs are $347,100, of which $170,200 is assigned to the material handling cost pool and $176,900 is assigned to the setup cost pool. Required: 1. Calculate the overhead assigned to each product using the traditional cost system. 2. Calculate the overhead assigned to each product using ABC.
