PROBLEM 2A-4 Activity-Based Absorption Costing as an Alternative to Traditional Product Costing LO2-5
Ellix Company manufactures two models of ultra-high fidelity speakers-the X200 model and the X99 model. Data regarding the two products follow:
Additional information about the company follows:
- Model X200 requires $72 in direct materials per unit, and model X99 requires S50.
- The direct labor workers are paid S20 per hour.
- The company has always used direct labor-hours as the base for applying
manufacturing overhead cost to products. - Model X200 is more complex to manufacture than model X99 and requires the use of special equipment.
- Because of the special work required in (d) above, the company is considering the use of activity-based absorption costing to apply manufacturing overhead cost to products. Three activity cost pools have been identified as follows:
Estimated Total Activity
Activity Cost Pool | Activity Measure | Estimate Total Cost | X200 | X99 | Total |
Machine setups | Number of setups | $ 360,000 | 50 | 100 | 150 |
Special processing…. | Machine-hours | 180,000 | 12,000 | 0 | 12,000 |
General factory | Direct labor-hours | 1,260,000 | 9,000 | 27,000 | 36,000 |
$1,800,000
Required:
- Assume that the company continues to use direct labor-hours as the base for applying overhead cost to products.
- Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate.
- Compute the unit product cost of each model.
- Assume that the company decides to use activity-based absorption costing to apply' overhead cost to products.
- Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool and determine the amount of overhead cost that would be applied to each model using the activity- based approach.
- Compute the unit product cost of each model.
- Explain why overhead cost shifted from the high-volume model to the low-volume model under the activity-based approach.
