Assigning Costs Using Traditional System, ABC System

Dunnstreet produces two types of calculator, standard and deluxe. The company is currently using a traditional costing system with machine hours as the cost driver but is considering a move to activity based costing. In preparing for the possible switch, Dunnstreet has identified two cost pools: materials handling and setup. The collected data follow:

 

Standard Model

Deluxe Model

Number of machine hours

25,000

30,000

Number of material moves

550

850

Number of setups

80

500

Total estimated overhead costs are $225,000 of which $70,000 is assigned to the material handling cost pool and $155,000 is assigned to the setup cost pool.

Required:

1.Calculate the overhead assigned to each product using the traditional cost system. Round the overhead rate to four decimal places if necessary.


2. Calculate the overhead assigned to each product using ABC. Round activity rates to four decimal places if necessary.
