Shalom Company uses three activity pools to apply overhead to its products. Each activity has a
cost driver used to allocate the overhead costs to the product. The activities and related overhead
costs are as follows: product design P40,000; machining P300,000; and material handling
P100,000. The cost drivers and estimated use are as follows:
Activity Cost Pools

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.

In addition, the residential client base resides in close proximity to the company office, so travel costs are not as expensive on a per client visit for residential customers. As a result, she has decided to take a closer look at the overhead costs assigned to the two product lines to determine whether a more accurate product…arrow_forward
