overhead based on direct labors hours. However, after taking BUADA 2050 Weird Al is considering switching to activity based costing. What is the impact?
The Polka is (indicate under or over-costed) by $__________ under traditional costing.
The Super is _____________(indicate under or over-costed) by $__________ under traditional costing.

- Stan Fawcett's company currently purchases a gear assembly from Salt Lake Supply, Inc., at $3.80 per unit with a minimum order of 3,000 units. Stan is considering instead producing the gear assembly himself. He estimates that producing it himself will cost $12,000 to set up the process and then $1.82 per unit for labor and materials. a) Using the line drawing tool, add the total cost graph for Stan to produce the assembly instead of purchasing from Salt Lake Supply. Total cost for the purchase option is already plotted. Properly label your line. Note: Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required object.

- The Gadget Co produces three products, A, B and C, all made from the same material. Until now, it has used traditional absorption costing to allocate overheads to its products. The company is now considering an activity based costing system in the hope that it will improve profitability. Information for the three products for the last year is as follows:A B CProduction and sales volumes (units) 15,000 12,000 18,000Selling price per unit K7.50 K12 K13Raw material usage (kg) per unit 2 3 4Direct labour hours per unit 0·1 0·15 0·2Machine hours per unit 0·5 0·7 0·9Number of production runs per annum 16 12 8Number of purchase orders per annum 24 28 42Number of deliveries to retailers per annum 48 30 62The price for raw materials remained constant throughout the year at K1·20 per kg. Similarly, the direct labour cost for the whole workforce was K14·80 per hour.

Metlock had always followed an actual costing system when determining the costs of its customizable telescopes. Barbara wondered if it would be better to switch to a normal costing system, as she had heard a number of people talking about that at an industry conference she attended the previous month. Since Metlock has a highly machine-intensive operation, machine hours are used as its MOH cost driver. Here are the costs and other MOH information Barbara is analyzing: Budgeted MOH cost Actual MOH cost Budgeted machine hours Actual machine hours $426,240 Actual MOH rate $ 419,040 Determine the actual MOH rate and the budgeted MOH rate Metlock would have used last year under actual costing and normal costing, respectively.
