Chapter 7, Problem 6CE
Refer to Cornerstone Exercise 7.3 and solve for the allocated costs to Fabricating and Assembly using the direct method of support department cost allocation. The Fabricating Department
Job 316 required six machine hours in Fabricating and four direct labor hours in Assembly. Total direct materials cost $120, and total direct labor cost was $80.
Required:
- 1. Calculate the overhead rate for Fabricating based on machine hours and the overhead rate for Assembly based on direct labor hours. (Round overhead rates to the nearest cent.)
- 2. Using the overhead rates calculated in Requirement 1, calculate the cost of Job 316.
- 3. What if Job 316 had required one machine hour in Fabricating and four direct labor hours in Assembly? Direct labor and direct materials costs remained the same. Calculate the new cost of Job 316.

Ramsey SARL uses an activity based costing system to assign overhead costs to products. In the first stage, two overhead costs - Security expense and Building depreciation - are allocated to three activity cost pools - Shipping, Carving, and Other - based on resource consumption. Data to perform these allocations appear below:
Overhead Costs:
Security expense: $105,000
Building depreciation: $70,000
Distribution of Resource Consumption across Activity Cost Pools:
Overhead Cost
Activity Cost Pools
Shipping
Carving
Other
Security expense
0.30
0.42
0.28
Building depreciation
0.34
0.32
0.34
The second stage of allocation is done by assigning the Shipping costs to products on the basis of orders shipped while products are assigned Carving costs based on machine hours. Costs assigned to the Other activity pool are not further assigned to products. Activity information for Ramsey's only two products is below:

Jordan Company has identified three cost pools to allocate overhead costs. The following estimates are provided for the coming year:
Cost Pool Overhead Costs Cost driver Activity level
Supervision of direct labor $326,000 Direct labor-hours 900,000
Machine maintenance $132,000 Machine-hours 960,000
Facility rent $217,000 Square feet of area 100,000
Total overhead costs $675,000
The accounting records show the Mossman Job consumed the following resources:
Cost driver Actual level
Direct labor-hours 200
Machine-hours 1,500
Square feet of area 70
If direct labor-hours are considered the only overhead cost driver, what is the single cost driver rate for Jordan?
An activity based costing system is being considered at Evelia, nv to assign products overhead costs; these overhead costs are currently assigned strictly by number of units produced. First, the two overhead costs of Rent expense and Insurance expense would be allocated to three activity cost pools - Finishing, Sanding, and Other - based on resource consumption. The information used to perform these allocations is below:
Overhead Costs:
Rent expense: $2,000,000
Insurance expense: $1,650,000
Distribution of Resource Consumption across Activity Cost Pools:
Overhead Cost
Activity Cost Pools
Finishing
Sanding
Other
Rent expense

0.25
0.30
Insurance expense
0.20

In the second stage, Finishing costs would be assigned to products using direct labor hours and Sanding costs would be assigned to products using the number of machine hours. The costs in the Other activity pool would not be assigned to products. Activity data for the company's two products is as…

- Stacks manufactures two different levels of hockey sticks: the Standard and the Slap Shot. The total overhead of $600,000 has traditionally been allocated by direct labor hours, with 400,000 hours for the Standard and 200.000 hours for the Slap Shot. After analyzing and assigning costs to two cost pools, it was determined that machine hours is estimated to have $450.000 of overhead, with 30,000 hours used on the Standard product and 15,000 hours used on the Slap Shot product. It was also estimated that the inspection cost pool would have $150,000 of overhead, with 25,000 hours for the Standard and 5,000 hours for the Slap Shot.
