- Electan Company produces two types of printers. The company uses ABC, and all activity drivers are duration drivers. Electan Company is considering using DBC and has gathered the following data to help with its decision. A. Activities with duration drivers: B. Activities with consumption ratios and costs: C. Products with cycle time and practical capacity: Required: 1. Using cycle time and practical capacity for each product, calculate the total time for all primary activities. Comment on the relationship to ABC. 2. Calculate the overhead rate that DBC uses to assign costs. Comment on the relationship to a unit-based plantwide overhead rate. 3. Use the overhead rate calculated in Requirement 2 to calculate (a) the overhead cost per unit for each product, and (b) the total overhead assigned to each product. How does this compare to the ABC assignments shown in Part B of the Information set? 4. What if the units actually produced were 10,000 for Printer A and 18,000 for Printer B. Using DBC, calculate the cost of unused capacity.arrow_forwardPotterii sells its products to large box stores and recently added a retail line of products to sell directly to consumers.

- Production-Based Costing versus Activity-Based Costing, Assigning Costs to Activities, Resource Drivers Willow Company produces lawnmowers. One of its plants produces two versions of mowers: a basic model and a deluxe model. The deluxe model has a sturdier frame, a higher horsepower engine, a wider blade, and mulching capability. At the beginning of the year, the following data were prepared for this plant: Additionally, the following overhead activity costs are reported: Facility-level costs are allocated in proportion to machine hours (provides a measure of time the facility is used by each product). Receiving and materials handling use three inputs: two forklifts, gasoline to operate the forklift, and three operators. The three operators are paid a salary of 40,000 each. The operators spend 25% of their time on the receiving activity and 75% on moving goods (materials handling). Gasoline costs 3 per move. Depreciation amounts to 8,000 per forklift per year. Required: (Note: Round answers to two decimal places.) 1. Calculate the cost of the materials handling activity. Label the cost assignments as driver tracing or direct tracing. Identify the resource drivers. 2. Calculate the cost per unit for each product by using direct labor hours to assign all overhead costs. 3. Calculate activity rates, and assign costs to each product. Calculate a unit cost for each product, and compare these costs with those calculated in Requirement 2. 4. Calculate consumption ratios for each activity. 5. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Explain how the consumption ratios calculated in Requirement 4 can be used to reduce the number of rates. Calculate the rates that would apply under this approach.arrow_forwardThe following product costs are available for Kellee Company on the production of eyeglass frames: direct materials, $32,125; direct labor, $23.50; manufacturing overhead, applied at 225% of direct labor cost; selling expenses, $22,225; and administrative expenses, $31,125. The direct labor hours worked for the month are 3,200 hours. A. What are the prime costs? B. What are the conversion costs? C. What is the total product cost? D. What is the total period cost? E. If 6.425 equivalent units are produced, what is the equivalent material cost per unit? F. What is the equivalent conversion cost per unit?arrow_forwardUsing the data in P4-2 and Microsoft Excel: 1. Separate the variable and fixed elements. 2. Determine the cost to be charged to the product for the year. 3. Determine the cost to be charged to factory overhead for the year. 4. Determine the plotted data points using Chart Wizard. 5. Determine R2. 6. How do these solutions compare to the solutions in P4-2 and P4-3? 7.
