Crane Test Laboratories was founded 25 years ago to evaluate the reaction of materials to extreme increases in temperature. Much of the company's early growth was attributable to government contracts to test the suitability of weapons, transportation equipment, and clothing for use in arid desert regions. Recent growth has come from diversification and expansion into commercial markets. Environmental testing at Crane Test now includes the following: heat testing (HTT) air turbulence testing (ATT) stress testing (SST) arctic condition testing (ACT) aquatic testing (AQT) Currently, all the company's budgeted operating costs are collected in a common overhead pool. All of the estimated testing hours are collected in another common pool. One rate per test hour is used to estimate the cost of all five types of testing. In determining the sales price, this hourly rate is marked up by 50% to cover administrative expenses, taxes, and profit Rick Shaw, Crane Test's operations engineer, believes that there is enough variation in the test procedures and cost structure to establish separate costing and billing rates. After analyzing the following data, he has recommended that new rates be put into effect at the beginning of Crane Test's fiscal year. The budgeted total costs for the coming year are as follows: The budgeted total costs for the coming year are as follows: $ 450,000 66,000 Test pool labor (10 employees)" Supervision Equipment depreciation Heat Electricity 172,000 164,000 130,000 Water 76,000 Setup 60,000 102,000 54,000 Indirect materials Operating supplies Total costs Total estimated test hours $ 1.274,000 100,000 "All employees are paid the same salary.
