Question

Bassanova Company has two products: A and B. The annual production and sales level of Product A is 18,000 units. The annual production and sales level of Product B is 32,000. The company uses activity-based costing and has prepared the following analysis showing the estimated total cost and expected activity for each of its three activity cost pools:

Expected Activity

Activity Cost Pool Estimaied cost Activity ProductA Product B TotalActivity
Cutting $ 80,000 200 800 1,000
Sanding 360,000 600 5,400 6,000
Painting 60,000 1000 500 1,500

The following information is also available:

(In Dollars) A B
Sales price per unit $100.00 150.00
Direct material per unit 20.00 30.00
Direct labor per unit 10.00 15.00

Compute the profit margin for Products A and B using activity-based costing.


Explanation / Answer

Product A

Total Cutting Cost = 200/1000 x 80000 = $16000

Total Sanding Cost = 600/6000 x 360000 = $36000

Total Painting Cost = 1000/1500 x 60000 = $40000

Total overhead cost = 16000 + 36000 + 40000 = $92000

Overhead Cost per unit = 92000 / 18000 = $5.11

Total Product Cost = 20 + 10 + 5.11 = $35.11

Profit margin = 100 - 35.11 = $64.89 per unit

Product B

Total Cutting Cost = 800/1000 x 80000 = $64000

Total Sanding Cost = 5400/6000 x 360000 = $324000

Total Painting Cost = 500/1500 x 60000 = $20000

Total overhead cost = 64000 + 324000 + 20000 = $408000

Overhead Cost per unit = 408000 / 32000 = $12.75

Total product cost = 30 + 15 + 12.75 = $57.75

Profit margin = 150 - 57.75 = $92.25 per unit
