Use single-rate; direct method to allocate engineering and marketing overheads
Engineering overheads include machine setting ($460,800) and inspection ($284,400) activities. Marketing involves channel ($496,000) and branding ($800,000) activities. The inspection and channel costs are driven by
the number of units produced & sold.

- Activity-based department rate product costing and product cost distortions Big Sound Inc. manufactures two products: receivers and loudspeakers. The factory overhead incurred is as follows: The activity base associated with the two production departments is direct labor hours. The indirect labor can be assigned to two different activities as follows: The activity-base usage quantities and units produced for the two products follow: Instructions Determine the factory overhead rates under the multiple production department rate method. Assume that indirect labor is associated with the production departments, so that the total factory overhead is 420,000 and 294,000 for the Subassembly and Final Assembly departments, respectively. Determine the total and per-unit factory overhead costs allocated to each product, using the multiple production department overhead rates in (1). Determine the activity rates, assuming that the indirect labor is associated with activities rather than with the production departments. Determine the total and per-unit cost assigned to each product under activity-based costing. Explain the difference in the per-unit overhead allocated to each product under the multiple production department factory overhead rate and activity-based costing methods. production department factory overhead rate and activity-based costing methods.arrow_forwardWrappers Tape makes two products: Simple and Removable.

She cannot understand why this line is not more profitable given that the installations of window coverings are less complex for residential customers. 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_forwardQuestion Content Area A company has traditionally allocated its overhead based on machine hours but had collected this information to change to activity-based costing: Estimated Activity Activity Center Product 1 Product 2 Estimated Cost Machine Setups 15 45 $9,600 Assembly Parts 3,000 3,000 144,600 Packaging Pieces 750 600 82,350 Machine Hours per Unit 4 3 Production Volume 750 1,500 A.
