Question
Station 9 ¾ Corporation manufacturers railroad tracks. They are currently using a traditional system, with machine hours as the cost driver. They are considering converting to an ABC system, and want a comparison of the two. Station 9 ¾ has identified the following activity information:
Activity | Cost Driver | Est. Cost Driver Volume | Est. Cost Pool |
Machining | Machine Hours | 12,000 | $119,000 |
Assembly | Direct Labor Hours | 15,800 | $107,000 |
Setup | Number of Setups | 9 | $24,300 |
Total | $250,300 |
The actual cost driver volume that occurred during the production process is below:
Machine Hours | 8,600 |
Direct Labor Hours | 9,700 |
Number of Setups | 7 |
What is the Difference between traditional and ABC system?
