Question

1.)

Company has two products: A and B. The annual production and sales of Product A is 1,950 units and of Product B is 1,350 units. The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A requires 0.5 direct labor-hours per unit and Product B requires 0.8 direct labor-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $101,600.

The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based costing system would have three overhead activity cost pools--Activity 1, Activity 2, and General Factory--with estimated overhead costs and expected activity as follows:

(Note: The General Factory activity cost pool's costs are allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours.) The predetermined overhead rate (i.e., activity rate) for Activity 2 under the activity-based costing system is closest to:

A.) $7.45

B.) $42.33

C.) $59.98

D.) $9.17

2.)

A.) credit to Work in Process of $93,000

B.) debit to Manufacturing Overhead of $88,000

C.) credit to Manufacturing Overhead of $88,000

D.) debit to Work in Process of $93,000

3.)

The total gross margin for the month under absorption costing is:

$109,060

$20,090

$144,180

$154,980

Explanation / Answer

1.

Answer: A $7.45

2.

Answer: C Credit to Manufacturing Overhead of 88,000

3.

Selling Price - Variable Cost = Contribution margin

= 148 - 94 = 54

Contribution margin x units sold

= $54 x 2870 = 154,980

Answer: $154,980

(a) (b) (a) / (b) Activity Cost Pool Estimated Cost Estimated Activity Activity Rate Activity 2 17,882 2,400 7.45
