Explanation / Answer

Answer 1. Plantwide overhead Rate = Total Overhead / Allocation Base Total Overhead: Department A                  215,630 Department B                  399,480 Support                  515,600 Total Overhead              1,130,710 Direct Labor Hours = 2,600 hrs + 1,600 hrs = 4,200 Hrs Plantwide overhead Rate = $1,130,710 / 4,200 DLH Plantwide overhead Rate = $269.22 per DLH (Approx.) Allocation of Overhead: Pup Tent - $269.22 X 2,600 DLH                  699,963 Pop-up Tent - $269.22 X 1,600 DLH                  430,747 Total Overhead              1,130,710 Answer 2. Calculation of Cost per Tent: Pup Tent Pop-up Tent Direct Material & Direct Labor                       25.00                          32.00 Overhead Cost per Unit                       46.05                          56.68 Total Cost per Unit                       71.05                          88.68 Answer 3. Pup Tent Pop-up Tent Selling Price per Tent                       65.00                        200.00 Cost per Tent                       71.05                          88.68 Gross Profit per Tent                       (6.05)                        111.32 As per the above statement, it appears that Pup Tent is not profitable. The Company may decide to increase the selling price or dropping the Pup Tent from production. Answer 4.

Pup Tent Pop-up Tent Selling Price per Tent                       65.00                        200.00 Cost per Tent                       58.46                        113.87 Gross Profit per Tent                         6.54                          86.13 As per the above statement, both products are profitable under ABC Costing. ABC costing is better method to allocate the overhead cost than Traditional costing because it takes all the factors into account for distribution of overhead. Answer 6. Departmental overhead rates based on direct labor hours and machine hours are still volume-based measures and would not improve the accuracy of cost assignment relative to ABC. Departmental overhead rates may be an improvement over a plantwide rate because the departmental rates at least recognize differences in drivers between departments.
