Chapter 7.A, Problem 1E
EXERCISE 7A-1 Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing LO7-6
Saratoga Company manufactures jobs to customer specifications. The company is conducting a time-driven activity-based costing study in its Purchasing Department to better understand how Purchasing Department labor costs are consumed by individual jobs. To aid the study, the company provided the following data regarding its Purchasing Department and three of its many jobs:
Required:
- Calculate the cost per minute of the resource supplied in the Purchasing Department
- Calculate the time-driven activity rate for each of Saratoga’s three activities.
- Calculate the total purchasing labor costs assigned to Job X, Job Y, and Job Z.

Computing and using activity-based costing overhead allocation rates
Koehler (see Exercise E19-15 and Exercise E19-16) makes handheld calculators in two models—basic and professional—and wants to further refine its costing system by allocating overhead using activity-based costing. The estimated $721,000 of manufacturing overhead has been divided into three primary activities: Materials Handling, Machine Setup, and Insertion of Parts. The following data have been compiled:
Requirement 1
Koehler expects to produce 200,000 basic models and 200,000 professional models. Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rates using activity-based costing. How much overhead is allocated to the basic model? To the professional model?
Requirement 2
Compare your answers for Exercise E19-15, Exercise E19-16, and Exercise E19-17. What conclusions can you draw?
Note: Short Exercise S19-15 and ES19-16 must be completed before attempting Short Exercise 519-17.

Wolseley’s dilemma of Traditional Costing versus Activity Based Costing
Wolseley Manufacturing Corporation manufactures various electronics products and follows a traditional (job-order) costing system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to its products using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labour-hours (DLHs). The company has two products, C18R and G19R, about which it has provided the following data:
C18R
G19R
Direct materials per unit
$10.20
$50.50
Direct labour per unit
$8.40
$25.20
Direct labour hours per unit
0.40
1.20
Annual production
30,000
10,000
The company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $1,464,480 and the company's estimated total direct labour-hours for the year is 24,000.The company is considering using a variation of activity-based costing to determine its unit product costs for external reports. Data for this proposed activity-based costing system appear below:

- (Appendix 3A) Separating Fixed and Variable Costs, Service Setting Louise McDermott, controller for the Galvin plant of Veromar Inc., wanted to determine the cost behavior of moving materials throughout the plant. She accumulated the following data on the number of moves (from 100 to 800 in increments of 100) and the total cost of moving materials at those levels of moves: Required: 1. Prepare a scattergraph based on these data. Use cost for the vertical axis and number of moves for the horizontal axis. Based on an examination of the scattergraph, does there appear to be a linear relationship between the total cost of moving materials and the number of moves? 2. Compute the cost formula for moving materials by using the high-low method. Calculate the predicted cost for a month with 550 moves by using the high-low formula. (Note: Round the answer for the variable rate to three decimal places and the answer for total fixed cost and total cost to the nearest dollar.) 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Compute the cost formula for moving materials using the method of least squares. (Note: For the method of least squares, round the variable rate to two decimal places and total fixed cost and total cost to the nearest dollar.) Using the regression cost formula, what is the predicted cost for a month with 550 moves? What does the coefficient of determination tell you about the cost formula computed by regression? 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Evaluate the cost formula using the least squares coefficients. Could it be improved?

In addition, the residential client base resides in close proximity to the company office, so travel costs are not as expensive on a per client visit for residential customers.
