Respuesta :
The computation of the total cost per unit for each product is as follows:
Standard Deluxe
Direct materials per unit $11.00 42.00
Direct labor per unit 18.00 18.00
Overhead cost per unit 14.57 15.17
Total cost per unit $43.57 $74.17
What is the ABC costing system?
The ABC (Activity-based costing) costing system is a costing method that:
- Identifies activities in an organization.
- Assigns the overhead cost of each activity to all products and services.
- Cost assignment is based on the actual consumption by each.
The ABC costing system is not like the traditional costing system that uses a single plantwide rate as the overhead rate based on a single cost driver.
Question Completion:
Both products require 2 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 140,000 [2 hrs. × (20,000 + 50,000)]. The expected annual manufacturing overhead is $1,050,000. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $7.50 ($1,050,000 ÷ 140,000) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $42 for the deluxe model and $11 for the standard model. The direct labor cost is $18 per unit for both the deluxe and the standard models.
The company’s managers identified six activity cost pools and related cost drivers and accumulated overhead by cost pool as follows.
