Table 2: Activity Cost Pools and Cost Drivers
Another alternative to traditional costing and ABC is time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC). You will need to determine which of these three methods would be the best approach for the Hampshire Company. The following article may assist you in your analysis: Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing. Additionally, you may want to use the Shapiro Library to conduct further research on the three methods. You will need to defend your position when answering the prompts for the written portion of this section.
Using the information provided above, complete the following in the Hampshire Company Spreadsheet
Calculate the allocation rates for each cost driver using ABC.
Use the traditional costing approach to calculate the total cost and the unit cost of the stick and collapsible umbrellas.
Use ABC to compute the total costs and the unit cost for the stick and collapsible umbrellas.
Compute the difference between the product cost per stick and collapsible umbrellas using the unit cost that you computed with the traditional approach and the one that you computed using ABC.
This is what I have so far, I need help with the operating income percentages and the other areas in bold print. Thanks!
