Question

Schwering Corporation uses activity-based costing to assign overhead costs to products. Overhead costs have already been allocated to the company's three activity cost pools as follows: Machining, $68,000; Order Filling, $136,040; and Other, $61,400. Machining costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Order Filling costs are assigned to products using the number of orders. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data appear below:

MHs (Machining) Orders (Order Filling)
Product D7 11,220 3,040
Product U1 22,780 760
The activity rate for the Order Filling activity cost pool under activity-based costing is closest to:_______.
a. $35.80 per order.
b. $69.85 per order.
c. $9.40 per order.
d. $25.40 per order.

Schwering Corporation uses activity-based costing to assign overhead costs to products. Overhead costs have already been allocated to the company's three activity cost pools as follows: Machining, $81,600; Order Filling, $161,500; and Other, $68,200. Machining costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Order Filling costs are assigned to products using the number of orders. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data appear below:
MHs (Machining) Orders (Order Filling)
Product D7 13,200 4,000
Product U1 26,800 1,000
What is the overhead cost assigned to Product U1 under activity-based costing?

The controller of Hartis Corporation estimates the amount of materials handling overhead cost that should be allocated to the company's two products using the data that are given below:
Wall Mirrors Specialty Windows
Total expected units produced 7,700 1,450
Total expected material moves 770 1,350
Expected direct labor-hours per unit 14 7
The total materials handling cost for the year is expected to be $17,153.10.
If the materials handling cost is allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours, the total materials handling cost allocated to the wall mirrors is closest to:______.
a. $8,864.
b. $13,841.
c. $16,170.
d. $10,513.

Answer 1

Instructions are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

Order Filling, $136,040

Orders (Order Filling)

Product D7 3,040

Product U1 760

To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Order Filling= 136,040/3,800

Order Filling= $35.8 per order

2)

Overhead costs:

Machining, $81,600

Order Filling, $161,500

Activity data appear below:

MHs (Machining) Orders (Order Filling)

Product D7 13,200 4,000

Product U1 26,800 1,000

First, we need to calculate the activity rate for each activity:

Machining= 81,600/40,000= $2.04 per machine hour

Order Filling= 161,500/5,000= $32.3 per order

Now, we can allocate overhead to product U1:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Product U1= 2.04*26,800 + 32.3*1,000= $86,972

3)

Wall Mirrors Specialty Windows

Total expected units produced 7,700 1,450

Expected direct labor-hours per unit 14 7

The total materials handling cost for the year is expected to be $17,153.10.

Total direct labor hours, and predetermined overhead rate:

Total direct labor hours= 14*7,700 + 7*1,450= 117,950

Material Handling activity rate= 17,153.1/117,950= $0.145 per direct labor hour

Now, we allocate overhead:

Wall Mirrors= 0.15*107,800= $16,170
