Required:

How much total overhead cost would be assigned to K425 and M67 using the activity-based costing system?

Activity Cost Pool Activity Rates Supporting direct labor $ 6 per direct labor-hour Machine processing $ 3 per machine-hour Machine setups $ 45 per setup Production orders $ 150 per order Shipments $ 115 per shipment Product sustaining $ 775 per product

Explanation / Answer

Answer : Calculation of Total Overhead Cost Activity Cost Pool Products K425 M67 Supporting direct labor $     7,050 $         300 Machine processing $   10,800 $         120 Machine setups $         945 $           45 Production orders $     3,150 $         150 Shipments $     4,830 $         115 Product sustaining $         775 $         775 ------------------ ---------------- TOTAL OVERHEAD COST $   27,550 $     1,505 ========== ========= Working Notes : Cost of Expected Activity 1 Cost for Supporting Direct Labor = Direct Labor-hours required per year X Supporting Direct Labor rate per hour For Product K425 = 1,175 Direct Labor hours X $ 6 per hour = $ 7,050 For Product M67 = 50 Direct Labor hours X $ 6 per hour = $ 300 Cost Expected Activity 2 Cost for Machine Processing = Machine-hours required per year X Machine Processing rate per hour For Product K425 = 3,600 Machine hours X $ 3 per hour = $ 10,800 For Product M67 = 40 Machine hours X $ 3 per hour = $ 120 Cost Expected Activity 3 Cost for Machine Setups = Machine Setups per year X Rate per Machine Setup For Product K425 = 21 Setups X $ 45 per Setup = $ 945 For Product M67 = 1 Setups X $ 45 per Setup = $ 45 Cost Expected Activity 4 Cost for Production orders = Production orders per year X Rate per Production order For Product K425 = 21 Production orders X $ 150 per Production order = $ 3,150 For Product M67 = 1 Production order X $ 150 per Production order = $ 150 Cost Expected Activity 5 Cost for Shipments = Shipments per year X Rate per Shipment For Product K425 = 42 Shipements X $ 115 per Shipment = $ 4,830 For Product M67 = 1 Shipements X $ 115 per Shipment = $ 115 Cost Expected Activity 6 Cost for Product Sustaining = Products Sustaining per year X Rate per Product Sustaining For Product K425 = 1 Product Sustaining X $ 775 per Product = $ 775 For Product M67 = 1 Product Sustaining X $ 775 per Product = $ 775
