The cost behavior patterns below are lettered A through H. The vertical axes of the graphs represent total dollars of expense, and the horizontal axes represent production in units, machine hours, or direct labor hours. In each case, the zero point is at the intersection of the two axes. Each graph may be used no more than once. Required: Select the graph that matches the lettered cost described here. a. Depreciation of equipmentthe amount of depreciation charged is computed based on the number of machine hours that the equipment was operated. b. Electricity billflat fixed charge, plus a variable cost after a certain number of kilowatt hours are used. c. City water billcomputed as follows: d. Depreciation of equipmentthe amount is computed by the straight-line method. e. Rent on a factory building donated by the citythe agreement calls for a fixed fee payment, unless 200,000 labor hours are worked, in which case no rent need be paid. f. Salaries of repair workersone repair worker is needed for every 1,000 machine hours or less (i.e., 0 to 1,000 hours requires one repair worker, 1,001 to 2,000 hours requires two repair workers, etc.).

2. Delph Company uses a job-order costing system and has two manufacturing departments – Molding and Fabrication. The company provided the following estimates at the beginning of the year: Molding Fabrication Total Machine-hours 20,000 30,000 50,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $700,000 $210,000 $910,000 $3.00 $1.00 During the year, the company had no beginning or ending inventories and it started, completed, and sold only two jobs–Job D-70 and Job C-200. It provided the following information related to those two jobs: Job D-70 Direct materials cost Direct labor cost Machine-hours Molding $375,000 $200,000 14,000 Fabrication $325000 Total $700000 $360,000 20,000 $160,000 6,000 Job C -200 Direct materials cost Direct labor cost Machine-hours Molding $300,000 $175,000 6,000 Fabrication $250,000 $225,000 24,000 Total $550,000 $400,000 30,000 Delph had no underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead during the year.
An activity based costing system is used at Haldeman, SA to assign products overhead costs. First, the two overhead costs of Equipment depreciation and Water expense are allocated to three activity cost pools - Handling, Machining, and Other - based on resource consumption. The information used to perform these allocations is below: Overhead Costs: Equipment depreciation: $50,000 Water expense: $60,000 Distribution of Resource Consumption across Activity Cost Pools: Overhead Cost Activity Cost Pools Handling Machining Other Equipment depreciation 0.28 0.34 0.38 Water expense 0.32 0.22 0.46 The second stage of allocation is done by assigning the Handling costs to products on the basis of orders filled while products are assigned Machining costs based on machine hours. Costs assigned to the Other activity pool are not further assigned to products. Activity information for Haldeman's only two products is below: orders filled machine hours Product LS-157: 3,400 3,400…
