Lysiak Corporation uses an activity based costing system toassign overhead costs to products. In the first stage, two overheadcosts--equipment depreciation and supervisory expense-are allocatedto three activity cost pools--Machining, Order Filling, andOther--based on resource consumption. Data to perform theseallocations appear below:
Overhead costs: | |
Equipment depreciation | $ | 47,000 |
Supervisory expense | $ | 6,000 |
|
Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activity CostPools:
| Activity Cost Pools |
| Machining | Order Filling | Other |
Equipment depreciation | 0.60 | 0.10 | 0.30 |
Supervisory expense | 0.60 | 0.20 | 0.20 |
|
In the second stage, Machining costs are assigned to productsusing machine-hours (MHs) and Order Filling costs are assigned toproducts using the number of orders. The costs in the Otheractivity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data forthe company's two products follow:
Activity:
| MHs(Machining) | Orders (OrderFilling) |
Product C9 | 6,900 | 200 |
Product U0 | 3,100 | 800 |
Total | 10,000 | 1,000 |
|
How much overhead cost is allocated to the Machining activitycost pool under activity-based costing in the first stage ofallocation?
2.
| Activity Cost Pools |
| Machining | Order Filling | Other |
Equipment depreciation | 0.40 | 0.10 | 0.50 |
Supervisory expense | 0.20 | 0.30 | 0.50 |
|
Machining costs are assigned to products using machine-hours(MHs) and Order Filling costs are assigned to products using thenumber of orders. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are notassigned to products. Activity data for the company's two productsfollow:
Activity:
| MHs(Machining) | Orders (OrderFilling) |
Product J3 | 9,100 | 100 |
Product F7 | 900 | 900 |
Total | 10,000 | 1,000 |
|
Finally, the costs of Machining and Order Filling are combinedwith the following sales and direct cost data to determine productmargins.
Sales and Direct Cost Data:
| Product J3 | Product F7 |
Sales (total) | $ | 145,200 | $ | 90,700 |
Direct materials (total) | $ | 81,400 | $ | 38,600 |
Direct labor (total) | $ | 37,700 | $ | 42,400 |
|
What is the product margin for Product F7 under activity-basedcosting?
