Question

Greenwood Company manufactures two products 13,000 units of Product Y and 5,000 units of Product Z. The company uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. It is considering implementing an activity based costing (ABC) system that allocates all of its manufacturing overhead to four cost pools. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Products Y and Z: Estimated Overhead Cost $ 249,600 s 162,400 $ 92,000 $ 309,600 Expected Activity Activity cost Poo] Machining Machine setups Production design General factory Activity Measure Machine-hours Number of setups Number of products Direct labor-hours 12,000 MHs 280 setups 2 products 12,000 DLHs Activity Measure Machining Number of setups Number of products Direct labor-hours Product Y 8,800 Product Z 3,200 40 240 8,800 3,200 15. Using the ABC system, what percentage of the General Factory cost is assigned to Product Y and Product Z? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.) Product Y Product Z General factory cost

Explanation / Answer

Computation of General factory cost percentage assigned to product Y and product Z :

General factory overhead is assigned to Product Y and product Z on the basis of Direct labor hours (DLHs) and total direct labor hours available is 12000.

Total direct labor hours available = 12000.

Direct labour hours required in product Y = 8800

Direct labour hours required in product Z = 3200

Percentage of General factory cost of product Y =

(Direct labour hour required in product Y /Total direct labor hours)*100

= (8800/12000)*100 = 73.33%

Percentage of General factory cost of product Z =

(Direct labour hour required in product Z /Total direct labor hours) *100

= (3200/12000)*100 = 26.67%
