a. Assignment of overhead costs to activity cost pools using activity based costing:
Machining | Setting Up | Others | Total | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Equipment depreciation |
16150 [32300*0.5] |
9690 [32300*0.3] |
6460 [32300*0.2] |
32300 |
Indirect labour |
2175 [7250*0.3] |
2175 [7250*0.3] |
2900 [7250*0.4] |
7250 |
Total | 18325 | 11865 | 9360 | 39550 |
b. Activity rates for each activity cost pool:
(i) Activity rates for machining cost pool = Total overheads cost allocated to machining activity as calculated in (a) above / Total Machine hours
=
= ~ $1 per machine hour
Therefore activity rate for machining cost pool is $1 per machine hour.
(ii) Activity rates for setting up cost pool = Total overheads cost allocated to setting up activity as calculated in (a) above / Total number of batches
=
= $3.71 per batch
Therefore the activity rate for setting up cost pool is $3.71 per batch
c. Overheads cost assigned to each product:
(i) Overheads costs assigned to product S4:
Machining overheads [$1 * 12800 MHs] = $12800
Setting up overheads [$3.71 * 1100 batches] = $ 4081
Therefore total overheads assigned to product S4 = 12800+4081 = $16881
(ii) Overheads costs assigned to product C0:
Machining overheads [$1 * 5500 MHs] = $5500
Setting up overheads [$3.71 * 2100 batches] = $ 7791
Therefore total overheads assigned to product C0 = 5500+7791 = $13291
d. Product margins for each product based on Activity based costing:
Product Margins = Sales - Direct Materials - Direct Labour - Allocated overheads
Product S4 = 85000 - 30200 - 35200 - 16881 = $2719
Product C0 = 75900 - 26600 - 33400 - 13291 = $2609
Therefore, product margin for product S4 is $2719 and that for product C0 is $2609
