Hickory Company manufactures two products-14,000 units of Product Y and 6,000 units of Product Z. The company uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. It is consldering Implementing an activity-based costing (ABC) system that allocates all of its manufacturlng overhead to four cost pools. The following additional Informatlon is avallable for the company as a whole and for Products Y and Z: Estlmated Overhead Activity Cost Pool Machining Machine setups Production design General factony Cost Expected Activity $209,000 0,000 MHs $ 171,100 $93,000 $259,000 2.000 DLHs Activity Measure Machlne-hours Number of setups Number of products Direct labor-hours 290 setups 2 products Activity Measure Product Y Product Z 7,900 2,100 240 Machine-hours Number of setups Number of products Direct labor-hours 50 8,900 3,100

Explanation / Answer

calculation of activity rates

calculations of products cost

1)plant wide overhead rate

          product y = $ 434,198.7/14,000=$ 31.01

          product z= $ 298,897.3/6,000= 49.82
