Vintage Fun reproduces old-fashioned style roller skates and skateboards. The annual production and sales of roller skates is 1,000 units, while 1 skates require 1.5 direct labor hours per unit, while skateboards require 1:25 direct labor hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for the period used an activity-based costing system, it would have the following three activity cost pools: Expected activity Estimated overhead cost $6,550 $16,000 $91450 Activity cost pool Roller skates Skateboards Total Setup costs 345 320 665 Engineering costs Maintenance costs 490 630 1,120 2,175 2,178 4,353 The overhead cost per skateboard using an activity-based costing system would be closest to (Round all answers to two decimal places.)

Answer:

D. $33.47

Explanation:

The computation of overhead cost per skateboard using an activity-based costing system is shown below:-

Total Expected Activity

Activity pool cost Overheads Activity Rate

Setup cost $6,550 665 9.85

Engineering cost $16,000 1,120 14.29

maintenance cost $91,450 4,353 21.01

Activity pool cost Rate Driver Overhead cost

Setup cost 9.85 320 3,152

Engineering cost 14.29 630 9,002.7

maintenance cost 21.01 2,178 45,759.78

Total Overheads cost 57,914.48

Number of units 1,730

Overhead cost per unit $33.48

Therefore for computing the overhead cost per unit we simply divide the total overhead cost by number of units.
