She developed an ABC system very similar to the one used by Biltmore’s chief rival, Westriver. Part of the reason Johnson developed the ABC system was because Biltmore’s profits had been declining even though the company had shifted its product mix toward the product that had appeared most profitable under the old system. Before adopting the new ABC system, Biltmore had used a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours that was developed years ago. For the upcoming year, Biltmore’s budgeted ABC manufacturing overhead allocation rates are as follows: Activity Allocation Base Activity Cost Allocation Rate Materials handling # of parts $3.84 per part Machine setup # of setups $330.00 per setup Insertion of parts # of parts $30.00 per part Finishing Finishing DL hrs $54.00 per hour The…arrow_forwardClick to watch the Tell Me More Learning Objective 1 video and then answer the questions below. 1.
