- Fisico Company produces exercise bikes. One of its plants produces two versions: a standard model and a deluxe model. The deluxe model has a wider and sturdier base and a variety of electronic gadgets to help the exerciser monitor heartbeat, calories burned, distance traveled, etc. At the beginning of the year, the following data were prepared for this plant: Additionally, the following overhead activity costs are reported: Required: 1. Calculate the cost per unit for each product using direct labor hours to assign all overhead costs. 2. Calculate activity rates and determine the overhead cost per unit. Compare these costs with those calculated using the unit-based method. Which cost is the most accurate? Explain.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. The company has decided to experiment with activity-based costing and has created two activity cost pools and related activity cost drivers. These two cost pools are Ordering and receiving (cost driver is Purchase orders) and machine setup (cost driver is number of setups). Overhead allocated to the ordering and receiving cost pool is $200,000, and $800,000 is allocated to the machine setup cost pool. Additional information related to these pools is as follows: Cost Drivers Tables Chairs Purchase orders 30,000 10,000 number of setups 10,000 30,000 a.

- Calculating and Interpreting Activity-Based Costing Data Hiram’s Lakeside is a popular restaurant located on Lake Washington in Seattle. 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_forwardShine Ltd manufactures two products, Exe and Zed.
