Concept explainers
(a)
Introduction:
ABC system was developed to deal with the loopholes of traditional costing system. It helps in finding the total cost of activities that are necessary to make a product. In this method the costs are assigned to each activity that goes into production.
To compute:
The activity rates for each Cost pool assumingABC system is used by S.
(b)
Introduction:
The
To compute:
The amount of overhead that S will assign to the Standard floor mat line.
(c)
Introduction:
The overhead cost is the indirect cost or the cost which is not directly related to manufacturing a product. It is the cost incurred to support the making and selling of product or service. Examples are, insurance, rent, etc.
To compute:
To determine the amount of overhead that S will assign to the deluxe product line.

- Rocks Industries has identified three different activities as cost drivers: machine setups, machine hours, and inspections. The overhead and estimated usage are: Compute the overhead rate for each activity.arrow_forwardFrenchys has three cost pools and an associated cost driver to allocate the costs to the product. The cost pools, cost driver, estimated overhead, and estimated activity for the cost pool are: What is the predetermined overhead rate for each activity?arrow_forwardCustoms has three cost pools and an associated cost driver to allocate the costs to the product. The cost pools, cost driver, estimated overhead, and estimated activity for the cost pool are: What is the predetermined overhead rate for each activity?arrow_forward
- Overhead costs are assigned to each product based on __________________. A. the proportion of that products use of the cost driver B. a predetermined overhead rate for a single cost driver C. price of the product D. machine hours per productarrow_forwardPotterii sells its products to large box stores and recently added a retail line of products to sell directly to consumers. These estimates are to be used in determining the overhead allocation rate for ABC: What would be the predetermined rate for each cost pool?arrow_forwardCarboni recently added a carbon line in addition to its aluminum line. The following are estimates to be used in determining the overhead allocation rate for ABC. What would be the predetermined rate for each cost pool?arrow_forward
- Using the data in P4-2 and Microsoft Excel: 1. Separate the variable and fixed elements. 2. Determine the cost to be charged to the product for the year. 3. Determine the cost to be charged to factory overhead for the year. 4. Determine the plotted data points using Chart Wizard. 5. Determine R2. 6. How do these solutions compare to the solutions in P4-2 and P4-3? 7. What does R2 tell you about this cost model?arrow_forwardWhich is the correct formula for computing the overhead rate? A. estimated use of the cost driver for production/estimated overhead for the activity B. estimated overhead for the product/estimated use of the cost driver for the activity C. estimated use of the cost driver for production/estimated overhead for the activity D. estimated overhead for the activity/estimated use of the cost driver for the activityarrow_forwardThe cost behavior patterns below are lettered A through H. The vertical axes of the graphs represent total dollars of expense, and the horizontal axes represent production in units, machine hours, or direct labor hours. In each case, the zero point is at the intersection of the two axes. Each graph may be used no more than once. Required: Select the graph that matches the lettered cost described here. a. Depreciation of equipmentthe amount of depreciation charged is computed based on the number of machine hours that the equipment was operated. b. Electricity billflat fixed charge, plus a variable cost after a certain number of kilowatt hours are used. c. City water billcomputed as follows: d. Depreciation of equipmentthe amount is computed by the straight-line method. e. Rent on a factory building donated by the citythe agreement calls for a fixed fee payment, unless 200,000 labor hours are worked, in which case no rent need be paid. f. Salaries of repair workersone repair worker is needed for every 1,000 machine hours or less (i.e., 0 to 1,000 hours requires one repair worker, 1,001 to 2,000 hours requires two repair workers, etc.).arrow_forward
- Assuming that all materials are added at the beginning of the process and that labor and factory overhead are applied evenly during the process, compute the figures to be inserted in the blank spaces of the following data, using the weighted average cost method. [Hint: for best success in solving each Case, solve them in numerical order starting with (1)]arrow_forwardWhat is the proper order of tasks In an ABC system? identify the cost drivers, assign the costs to the products, calculate the overhead application rate for each cost pool, identify the cost pools assign the costs to the products, identify the cost drivers, calculate the overhead application rate for each cost pool, identify the cost pools identify the cost drivers, identify the cost pools, calculate the overhead application rate for each cost pool, assign the costs to the products identify the cost pools, identify the cost drivers, calculate the overhead application rate for each cost pool, assign the costs to the productsarrow_forwardElectan Company produces two types of printers. The company uses ABC, and all activity drivers are duration drivers. Electan Company is considering using DBC and has gathered the following data to help with its decision. A. Activities with duration drivers: B. Activities with consumption ratios and costs: C. Products with cycle time and practical capacity: Required: 1. Using cycle time and practical capacity for each product, calculate the total time for all primary activities. Comment on the relationship to ABC. 2. Calculate the overhead rate that DBC uses to assign costs. Comment on the relationship to a unit-based plantwide overhead rate. 3. Use the overhead rate calculated in Requirement 2 to calculate (a) the overhead cost per unit for each product, and (b) the total overhead assigned to each product. How does this compare to the ABC assignments shown in Part B of the Information set? 4. What if the units actually produced were 10,000 for Printer A and 18,000 for Printer B. Using DBC, calculate the cost of unused capacity.arrow_forward
