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.

 

Requirements

3. Compute the estimated ABC indirect manufacturing cost per unit of each model for 2018. Carry each cost to the nearest cent.

Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer

Per unit indirect cost for standard model: $224.4

Per unit indirect cost for Deluxe model: $719.4

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

Per unit Material handling cost=Predetermined overhead allocation rate×Number of parts per unit                                                        =$4×4                                                        =$16




Per unit Machine setup cost=Predetermined overhead allocationrate×Number of setups per 500unitsNo of expected units=$400×18500=$14.4



Per unit Insertion of parts cost=Predetermined overhead allocation rate×Number of parts per unit=$26×4=$104




Per unit Finishing cost=Predetermined overhead allocation rate×Number finishing hour per unit=$90×1=$90






Per unit indirect cost for standard model=Material handling cost+Machine steup cost+Insertion of parts cost+Finishing cost                                                                      =$16+$14.4+$104+$90                                      =$224.4

2Step 2: Computation for the deluxe model

Per unit Material handling cost=Predetermined overhead allocation rate×Number of parts per unit=$4×7=$28




Per unit Machine setup cost=Predetermined overhead allocation rate×Number of setups per 500 unitsNo of  expected  units                                                   =$400×18500                                                    =$14.4



Perunit Insertion of parts cost=Predetermined overhead allocation rate×Number of parts per unit=$26×7=$182




Per unit Finishing cost=Predetermined overhead allocation rate×Number finishing hour per unit=$90×5.5=$495




Per unit indirect cost for standard model=Material handling cost+Machine steup cost+Insertion of parts cost+Finishing cost                                                                          =$28+$14.4+$182+$495                                        =$719.4
