cost driver used to allocate the overhead costs to the product. The activities and related overhead
costs are as follows: product design P40,000; machining P300,000; and material handling
P100,000. The cost drivers and estimated use are as follows:
Activity Cost Pools

- A manufacturing company has two service and two production departments. Building Maintenance and Factory Office are the service departments. The production departments are Assembly and Machining. The following data have been estimated for next years operations: The direct charges identified with each of the departments are as follows: The building maintenance department services all departments of the company, and its costs are allocated using floor space occupied, while factory office costs are allocable to Assembly and Machining on the basis of direct labor hours. 1. Distribute the service department costs, using the direct method. 2. Distribute the service department costs, using the sequential distribution method, with the department servicing the greatest number of other departments distributed first.arrow_forwardUse the following information for Brief Exercises 4-27 and 4-28: Quillen Company manufactures a product in a factory that has two producing departments, Cutting and Sewing, and two support departments, S1 and S2. The activity driver for S1 is number of employees, and the activity driver for S2 is number of maintenance hours. The following data pertain to Quillen: Brief Exercises 4-27 (Appendix 4B) Assigning Support Department Costs by Using the Direct Method Refer to the information for Quillen Company above. Required: 1. Calculate the cost assignment ratios to be used under the direct method for Departments S1 and S2. (Note: Each support department will have two ratiosone for Cutting and the other for Sewing.) 2. Allocate the support department costs to the producing departments by using the direct method.arrow_forwardA manufacturing company has two service and two production departments. Human Resources and Machine Repair are the service departments. The production departments are Grinding and Polishing. The following data have been estimated for next years operations: The direct charges identified with each of the departments are as follows: The human resources department services all departments of the company, and its costs are allocated using the numbers of employees within each department, while machine repair costs are allocable to Grinding and Polishing on the basis of machine hours. 1.

- Lansing. Inc., provided the following data for its two producing departments: Machine hours are used to assign the overhead of the Molding Department, and direct labor hours are used to assign the overhead of the Polishing Department. There are 30,000 units of Form A produced and sold and 50,000 of Form B. Required: 1. Calculate the overhead rates for each department. 2. Using departmental rates, assign overhead to live two products and calculate the overhead cost per unit. How does this compare with the plantwide rate unit cost, using direct labor hours? 3. What if the machine hours in Molding were 1,200 for Form A and 3,800 for Form B and the direct labor hours used in Polishing were 5,000 and 15,000, respectively? Calculate the overhead cost per unit for each product using departmental rates, and compare with the plantwide rate unit costs calculated in Requirement 2. What can you conclude from this outcome?arrow_forwardActivity-based and department rate product costing and product cost distortions Black and Blue Sports Inc. manufactures two products: snowboards and skis. The factory overhead incurred is as follows: The activity base associated with the two production departments is direct labor hours. The indirect labor can be assigned to two different activities as follows: Instructions Determine the factory overhead rates under the multiple production department rate method. Assume that indirect labor is associated with the production departments, so that the total factory overhead is 315,000 and 540,000 for the Cutting and Finishing departments, respectively. Determine the total and per-unit factory overhead costs allocated to each product, using the multiple production department overhead rates in (1). Determine the activity rates, assuming that the indirect labor is associated with activities rather than with the production departments. Determine the total and per-unit cost assigned to each product under activity-based costing. Explain the difference in the per-unit overhead allocated to each product under the multiple production department factory overhead rate and activity-based costing methods.arrow_forwardSmith Manufacturing currently allocates manufacturing overhead costs by plantwide overhead rate using direct labor costs. Ben Smith, a controller argues for departmental overhead rates to allocate manufacturing overhead costs to products. For department overhead rates, manufacturing overhead costs are allocated on the basis of machine-hours in the Machining Department and on the basis of direct labor costs in the Assembly Department. At the beginning of 20X3, the following estimates were provided for the coming year: Machining Assembly Direct labor-hours 30,000 60,000 Machine-hours 80,000 20,000 Direct labor cost $500,000 $900,000 Manufacturing overhead costs $420,000 $240,000 During month of the March, the accounting records of the company show the following data for Job #316: Machining Assembly Direct labor-hours 120 70 Machine-hours 60 5 Direct material cost $300 $200 Direct labor cost $100 $400 1) For Plant-wide Overhead Rate, a.
