Ultrasonic manufactures three ultrasound imaging systems: Avex, AvexII, and Mel. Overhead is
allocated to each system based on standard direct material dollars in each system. The firm uses a
flexible overhead budget to calculate the overhead rate for the coming year, where budgeted volume
is based on expected (projected) direct material dollars. The following table summarizes operations
for the year:

Fixed manufacturing overhead was budgeted at $7.5 million, and variable overhead was
budgeted at $0.30 per direct material dollar. In other words, each dollar spent on direct materials
is expected to generate $0.30 of variable manufacturing overhead. Actual overhead incurred during

Budgeted overhead for the coming year is: Previously, Sanjay Bhatt, Firenza Companys controller, had applied overhead on the basis of machine hours. Expected machine hours for the coming year are 50,000. Sanjay has been reading about activity-based costing, and he wonders whether or not it might offer some advantages to his company. He decided that appropriate drivers for overhead activities are purchase orders for purchasing, number of setups for setup cost, engineering hours for engineering cost, and machine hours for other. Budgeted amounts for these drivers are 5,000 purchase orders, 500 setups, and 2,500 engineering hours. Sanjay has been asked to prepare bids for two jobs with the following information: The typical bid price includes a 40 percent markup over full manufacturing cost. Required: 1. Calculate a plantwide rate for Firenza Company based on machine hours. What is the bid price of each job using this rate? 2. Calculate activity rates for the four overhead activities. What is the bid price of each job using these rates? 3. Which bids are more accurate? Why?arrow_forward
