Question

Eason Company manufactures wheel rims. The controller expects the following ABC allocation rates for 2018: 


        Activity                         Allocation Base                  Predetermined Overhead

                                                                                                     Allocation Rate

Materials handling              Number of parts                              $ 4.00 per part

Machine setup                   Number of setups                           400.00 per setup

Insertion of parts                 Number of parts                              26.00 per part

Finishing                       Number of finishing hours                    90.00 per hour

 

Eason produces two wheel rim models: standard and deluxe. Expected data for 2018 are as follows:

 

                                                                     Standard                     Deluxe

Parts per rim                                                    4.0                             7.0

Setups per 500 rims                                      18.0                           18.0

Finishing hours per rim                                  1.0                             5.5

Total direct hours per rim                               5.0                             6.0

 

The company expects to produce 500 units of each model during the year.

Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer

Total estimated indirect cost: $463,900

1Step-by-Step-Solution Step 1: Computation for the standard model

Total Material handling cost=Predetermined overhead allocationrate×Number of parts perunit×No. of expected units to produced=$4×4×500=$8,000



Total Machine setup cost=Predetermined overhead allocation rate×Number of setups per 500units                                       =$400×18                                  =$3,200




Total Insertion of parts cost=Predetermined overhead allocation rate×Number of parts per unit×No. of expected units to produced                                                  =$26×4×500                                         =$52,000




Total Finishing cost=Predetermined overhead allocation rate×Number finishing hour perunit×No. of expected units to produced                                    =$90×1×500                                    =$45,000





Total indirect cost for standard model=Material handling cost+Machine set up cost+Insertion of parts cost+Finishing cost                                                              =$8,000+$3,200+$52,000+$45,000                                                              =$108,200 

2Step 2: Computation for the Deluxe model

Total Materialhandling cost=Predetermined overhead allocation rate×Number of parts perunit×No.of expected units to produced                                             =$4×7×500                                            =$14,000



Total Machine setup cost=Predetermined overhead allocation rate×Number of setups per 500units                                           =$400×18                                           =$3,200




Total Insertion of parts cost=Predetermined overhead allocation rate×Number of parts per unit×No. of expected units to produced                                            =$26×7×500                                            =$91,000



Total Finishing cost=Predetermined overhead allocation rate×Number finishing hour per unit×No.of expected units to produced                                =$90×5.5×500                                =$247,500




Total indirect cost for standard model=Material handling cost+Machine steup cost+Insertion of parts cost+Finishing cost                                                            =$14,000+$3,200+$91,000+$247,500                                                            =$355,700 

3Step 3: Computation of total indirect cost

Total estimated indirect cost=Estimated indirect cost for standrad model+Estimated indirectcost for deluxe model                                             =$108,200+$355,700                                             =$463,900
