Chapter 4, Problem 4.42AP
Use ABC to compute full product costs (Learning Objective 2)
Arnett Corp. manufactures computer desks in its White Bear Lake, Minnesota, plant. The company uses activity-based costing to allocate all manufacturing conversion costs (direct labor and manufacturing
Arnett produced two styles of desks in March: the Standard desk and the Unpainted desk. Data for each follow:
Requirements
- 1. Compute the per-unit manufacturing product cost of Standard desks and Unpainted desks.
- 2. Premanufacturing activities, such as product design, were assigned to the Standard desks at $6 each and to the Unpainted desks at $2 each. Similar analyses were conducted of post-manufacturing activities, such as distribution, marketing, and customer service. The post-
manufacturing costs were $22 per Standard and $19 per Unpainted desk. Compute the full product costs per desk. - 3. Which product costs are reported in the external financial statements? Which costs are used for management decision making? Explain the difference.
- 4. What price should Arnett’s managers set for Standard desks to earn a $42 profit per desk?

Students have asked these similar questions
I have the following information: direct materials $250 and total manufacturing cost $700. Overhead applied to jobs at a rate of 200% of direct labor cost. This is for Chapter 2 job costing in managerial accounting. I am supposed to figure out conversion cost, direct labor cost, and manufacturing overhead.
I know the formula for conversion cost= direct labor + manufacturing OH
Prime cost= direct labor + direct materials
How do I figure out direct labor cost with the given information? The learning objective states calcualte predetermined overhead rate, but I do not have estimated manufacturing cost and estimated labor. Can you please help?
Thanks,
Erica Gordon

Computing and using activity-based costing overhead allocation rates
Koehler (see Exercise E19-15 and Exercise E19-16) makes handheld calculators in two models—basic and professional—and wants to further refine its costing system by allocating overhead using activity-based costing. The estimated $721,000 of manufacturing overhead has been divided into three primary activities: Materials Handling, Machine Setup, and Insertion of Parts. The following data have been compiled:
Requirement 1
Koehler expects to produce 200,000 basic models and 200,000 professional models. Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rates using activity-based costing. How much overhead is allocated to the basic model? To the professional model?
Requirement 2
Compare your answers for Exercise E19-15, Exercise E19-16, and Exercise E19-17. What conclusions can you draw?
Note: Short Exercise S19-15 and ES19-16 must be completed before attempting Short Exercise 519-17.

The owner of the restaurant has been trying to better understand costs at the restaurant and has hired a student intern to conduct an activity-based costing study. The intern, in consultation with the owner, identified three major activities and then completed the first-stage allocations of costs to the activity cost pools. The results appear below. The above costs include all of the costs of the restaurant except for organization-sustaining costs such as rent, property taxes, and top-management salaries. Some costs, such as the cost of cleaning the linens that cover the restaurant’s tables, vary with the number of parties served. Other costs, such as washing plates and glasses, depend on the number of diners served or the number of drinks served. Prior to the activity-based costing study, the owner knew very little about the costs of the restaurant.…arrow_forwardIn Class Assignment 1 AlSaleh has assigned overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products (Tables and Chairs) using direct labor hours which are estimated to be 200,000 for the current year.
