Sultan Company uses an activity-based costing system.
At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates of cost and activity for its five activity cost pools:
Activity Cost Pool | Activity Measure | Expected Overhead Cost |
Expected Activity | ||||
Labor-related | Direct labor-hours | $ | 317,600 | 39,700 | DLHs | ||
Purchase orders | Number of orders | $ | 9,900 | 220 | orders | ||
Parts management | Number of part types | $ | 67,890 | 93 | part types | ||
Board etching | Number of boards | $ | 76,000 | 1,900 | boards | ||
General factory | Machine-hours | $ | 237,600 | 21,600 | MHs | ||
Required:
1. Compute the activity rate for each of the activity cost pools.
2. The expected activity for the year was distributed among the company’s four products as follows:
Expected Activity | ||||||||||||
Activity Cost Pool | Product A | Product B | Product C | Product D | ||||||||
Labor-related (DLHs) | 6,300 | 23,700 | 4,600 | 5,100 | ||||||||
Purchase orders (orders) | 70 | 27 | 40 | 83 | ||||||||
Parts management (part types) | 28 | 13 | 32 | 20 | ||||||||
Board etching (boards) | 580 | 700 | 620 | 0 | ||||||||
General factory (MHs) | 3,900 | 8,900 | 3,500 | 5,300 | ||||||||
Using the ABC data, determine the total amount of overhead cost assigned to each product.

2.
The equivalent units in the ending work in process inventory will be different under the FIFO and the weighted-average methods of process costing.
T/F?
1. activity rate for each activity cost pool:
Activity Cost Pool | Activity Rate | |
Labor-related |
$8 |
per DLH |
Purchase orders | $45 | per order |
Parts management | $730 | per part type |
Board etching | $40 | per board |
General factory | $11 | per MH |
'Solution :
Activity rate = Expected
Overhead Cost/Expected Activity
Labor-related activity rate = $317600/39700 DLHs
Labor-related activity rate = $8 per DLH
Purchase orders activity rate = $9900/220 orders
Purchase orders activity rate = $45 per order
Parts management activity rate = $67,890/93 part types
Parts management activity rate = $730 per part type
Board etching activity rate = $76000/1900 boards
Board etching activity rate = $40 per board
General factory activity rate = $237600/21600 MHs
General factory activity rate = $11 per MH
2.

Solution :
Total overhead cost to a product = acti
vity rate * activity used by respective product.
Labor-related:
product A = $8 * 6300 = $ 50400
product B = $8 * 23700 =$189600
product C = $8 * 4600 =$36800
product D = $8 * 5100 =&40800
Purchase orders:
product A = $45 *70 = $3150
product B = $45 * 27 =$1215
product C = $45 *40 =$1800
product D = $45 * 83 =$3735
Parts management:
product A = $730 * 28 = $20440
product B = $730 *13 = $9490
product C = $730 *32 =$23360
product D = $730 * 20=$14600
Board etching:
product A = $40 * 580 = $2320
product B = $40 * 700 = $28000
product C = $40 * 620 =$24800
product D = $40 * 0 =$0
General factory:
product A = $11 * 3900 = $ 43900
product B = $11 * 8900 =$97900
product C = $11 * 3500 =$38500
product D = $11 * 5300 =$58300
