- Single plantwide rate and activity-based costing Whirlpool Corporation conducted an activity-based costing study of its Evansville, Indiana, plant in order to identify its most profitable products. Assume that we select three representative refrigerators (out of 333): one low-, one medium-, and one high-volume refrigerator. Additionally, we assume the following activity-base information for each of the three refrigerators: Prior to conducting the study, the factory overhead allocation was based on a single machine hour rate. The machine hour rate was 200 per hour. After conducting the activity-based costing study, assume that three activities were used to allocate the factory overhead. The new activity rate information is assumed to be as follows: Machining Activity Setup Activity Sales order Processing Activity Activity rate 160 240 55 A. Complete the following table, using the single machine hour rate to determine the per-unit factory overhead for each refrigerator (Column A) and the three activity-based rates to determine the activity-based factory overhead per unit (Column B). Finally, compute the percent change in per-unit allocation from the single to activity-based rate methods (Column C). (Round per-unit overhead to two decimal places and percents to one decimal place.) Product Volume Class Column A Single Rate Overhead Allocation per Unit Column B ABC Overhead Allocation per Unit Column C Percent Change in Allocation (Col. B - Col. A)/Col. A Low Medium High B.

- Activity-based costing and product cost distortion The management of Four Finger Appliance Company in Exercise 14 has asked you to u.sc activity-based costing instead of direct labor hours to allocate factory overhead costs to the two products. You have determined that 81,000 of factory overhead from each of the production departments can be associated with setup activity (162,000 in total). Company records indicate that blenders required 135 setups, while the toaster ovens required only 45 setups. Each product has a production volume of 7,500 units. A. Determine the three activity rates (assembly, test and pack, and setup). B. Determine the total factory overhead and factory overhead per unit allocated to each product using the activity rates in (A).arrow_forward(Appendix 4B) Assigning Support Department Costs by Using the Direct Method Sanjay Company manufactures a product in a factory that has two producing departments, Assembly and Painting, and two support departments, S1 and S2.

- 30. Process costing techniques should be used in assigning costs to products a. when production is customized to individual customer's requests b. if the products are manufactured on the basis of each order received. c. when production is only partially completed during the accounting period. d. if the products are composed of mass-produced, homogeneous units. 31. D Company uses the FIFO method of process costing. The beginning work-in-process inventory consisted of $6,400 of materials cost and $9,600 of conversion cost. Current month costs were $31,740 for materials and $51,100 for conversion. Equivalent Units have already been calculated for you under the FIFO method and were 69,000 equivalent units for materials and 70,000 equivalent units for conversion. Ending inventory of 5,000 units were 100% completed as to materials and 40% completed as to conversion.
