Activity-based costing in an insurance company Umbrella Insurance Company carries three major lines of insurance: auto, workers' compensation, and homeowners. The company has prepared the following report for 20Y2: Management is concerned that the administrative expenses may make some of the insurance lines unprofitable. However, the administrative expenses have not been allocated to the insurance lines. The controller has suggested that the administrative expenses could be assigned to the insurance lines using activity-based costing. The administrative expenses are comprised of five activities. The activities and their rates are as follows: Activity-base usage data for each line of insurance were retrieved from the corporate records and are shown below. a.Complete the product profitability report through the administrative activities. b.Determine the underwriting income as a percent of premium revenue. C.Determine the Operating income as a percent of premium revenue, rounded to one decimal place. d.Interpret the report.
Lampierre makes brass and gold frames. The company computed this information to decide whether to switch from the traditional allocation method to ABC: The estimated overhead for the material cost pool is estimated as $12,500, and the estimate for the machine setup pool is $35,000. Calculate the allocation rate per unit of brass and per unit of gold using: A. The traditional allocation method B. The activity-based costing method
Davis Co. uses backflush costing to account for its manufacturing costs. The trigger points are the purchase of materials, the completion of goods, and the sale of goods. Prepare journal entries to account for the following: a. Purchased raw materials, on account, 70,000. b. Requisitioned raw materials to production, 70,000. c. Distributed direct labor costs, 15,000. d. Factory overhead costs incurred, 45,000. (Use Various Credits for the account in the credit part of the entry.) e. Completed all of the production started. f. Sold the completed production for 195,000, on account. (Hint: Use a single account for raw materials and work in process.)
Crafts 4 All has these costs associated with production of 12,000 units of accessory products: direct materials, $19; direct labor, $30; variable manufacturing overhead, $15; total fixed manufacturing overhead, $450,000. What is the cost per unit under both the variable and absorption methods?
Journalizing the distribution of service department costs to production departments Required: Using your solution to P4-7, prepare journal entries for the following: The distribution of the total factory overhead of $79,400 to the individual production and service departments where it originated. The distribution of the Building Maintenance overhead to the appropriate other departments. The distribution of the Factory Office overhead to the appropriate other departments.
Production run size and activity improvement Littlejohn, Inc. manufactures machined parts for the automotive industry. The activity cost associated with Part XX-10 is as follows: Activity Activity-Base Usage Activity Rate = Activity Cost Fabrication 250 dlh 80per dlh 20,000 Setup 10 setups 80 per setup 800 Production control 10 prod, runs 30 per prod, run 300 Moving 10 moves 25 per move 250 Total activity cost per unit 21,350 Estimated units of production 500 Activity cost per unit 42.70 Each unit requires 30 minutes of fabrication direct labor. Moreover, part XX-10 is manufactured in production run sizes of 50 units. Each production run is set up, scheduled (production control), and moved as a batch of 50 units. Management is considering improvements in the setup, production control, and moving activities in order to cut the production run sizes by half. As a result, the number of setups, production runs, and mows will double from 10 to 20. Such improvements are expected to speed the companys ability to respond to customer orders. Setup is reengineered so that it takes 60% of the original cost per setup. Production control software will allow production control effort and cost per production run to decline by 60%. Moving distance was reduced by 40%, thus reducing the cost per mow by the same amount. A. Determine the revised activity cost per unit under the proposed changes. B. Did these improvements reduce the activity cost per unit? C. What cost per unit for setup would be required for the solution in (A) to equal the base solution?
Identify cost graphs The following cost graphs illustrate various types of cost behavior: For each of the following costs, identify the cost graph that best illustrates its cost behavior as the number of units produced increases. a. Direct material cost per unit. b. Fees for using a patent of $500,000 plus $0.25 for each unit produced. c. Salary of quality control supervisor. d. Straight-line depreciation per unit on factory equipment. e. Total direct materials cost.

It estimates it will produce 423,694 units of Generic and 652,200 of Label, and the overhead for each of its cost pools is as follows: It has also estimated the activities for each cost driver as follows: How much is the overhead allocated to each unit of Generic and Label?
Refer to the data in Exercise 7.20. The company has decided to use the sequential method of allocation instead of the direct method. The support departments are ranked in order of highest cost to lowest cost. Required: 1. Allocate the overhead costs to the producing departments using the sequential method. (Take allocation ratios out to four significant digits. Round allocated costs to the nearest dollar.) 2. Using machine hours, compute departmental overhead rates. (Round the overhead rates to the nearest cent.)
Use 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.
