Question

A company has identified the folloing overhead costs and cost drivers for the coming year:


Overhead Item          Cost Driver                                    Budgeted Cost       Budgeted Activity Level            

Machine setup          Number of setups                              $20,000                        200

Inspection                  Number of inspections                     130,000                     6,500

Material handling      Number of material moves                80,000                     8,000

Engineering               Engineering hours                               50,000                     1,000


Estimated direct labor cost was $100,000 and Estimated direct materials cost was $280,000. The following information was collected on three jobs that were completed during the year:


                                                                     Job 101               Job 102              Job 103

Direct materialls                                         $5,000               $12,000               $8,000

Direct labor                                                  $2,000                 $2,000               $4,000

Units completed                                               100                        50                     200

Number of setups                                                 1                          2                          4

Number of inspections                                      20                        10                       30

Number of material moves                               30                        10                       50

Engineering hours                                              10                        50                       10


The comapny desires a mark-up of 40%. If the company uses activity based costing (ABC), the price of each unit of JOB 103 would be:


A. $98

B. $100

C. $116-This answer is incorrect

D. $140

Explanation / Answer

Machine setup Rate =20,000/200 = $100 per Setup

Inspection Rate =130,000/6,500 = $20 per Insp

Material handling Rate=80,000/8,000 = $10 Per Mat Move

Engineering Rate=50,000/1000 = $50 per ENgg Hr


Job 103:

Direct materialls $8,000

Direct labor $4,000

Units completed 200

Number of setups 4*$100 = 400

Number of inspections 30*20 = 600

Number of material moves 50*10 = 500

Engineering hours 10*50 = 500

--------------------------------

Total Cost $14000

COst pu = $14000/200 = $70

Markup 40% is 40%*70 = 28

--------------------------

So Sale Price pu = $98 ...........Ans (a)
