Job Costs Using Activity-Based Costing

Heitger Company is a job-order costing firm that uses activity-based costing to apply overhead to jobs. Heitger identified three overhead activities and related drivers. Budgeted information for the year is as follows:

Activity Cost    Driver Amount of Driver
Materials handling $ 72,000      Number of moves 3,000    
Engineering 165,000      Number of change orders 10,000    
Other overhead 280,000      Direct labor hours 50,000    

Heitger worked on four jobs in July. Data are as follows:

  Job 13-43 Job 13-44 Job 13-45 Job 13-46

Direct labor cost $18,000 $20,000 $32,000 $2,400

  Job 13-43 Job 13-44 Job 13-45 Job 13-46
Number of moves 44 52 29 5
Number of change orders 30 40 20 20
Direct labor hours 900 1,000 1,600 120

By July 31, Jobs 13-43 and 13-44 were completed and sold. Jobs 13-45 and 13-46 were still in process.
