Question 1
The cost data produced by an ABC system for either a service or a product are only derived from indirect costs.Question 2
Aunt Ethel's Fancy Cookie Company manufactures and sells three flavors of cookies: Macaroon, Sugar, and Buttercream. The batch size for the cookies is limited to 1,000 cookies based on the size of the ovens and cookie molds owned by the company. Based on budgetary projections, the information listed below is available:Macaroon | Sugar | Buttercream |
Projected sales in units | 500,000 | 800,000 | 600,000 |
Selling price | $0.80 | $0.75 | $0.60 |
Direct materials | $0.20 | $0.15 | $0.14 |
Direct labor | $0.04 | $0.02 | $0.02 |
Direct labor hours | 2 | 1 | 1 |
Oven hours | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Packaging hours | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0.5 |
Activity | Overhead costs | Activity levels |
Direct labor | 2,400 hours |
Oven | $210,000 | 1,900 oven hours |
Packaging | $150,000 | 950 packaging hours |
$360,000 |
a. | Determine the activity-cost-driver rate for packaging costs. |
b. | Using the ABC system, for the sugar cookie: |
1. | compute the estimated overhead costs per thousand cookies. |
2. | compute the estimated operating profit per thousand cookies. |
c. | Using a traditional system (with direct labor hours as the overhead allocation base), for the |
1. | compute the estimated overhead costs per thousand cookies. |
2. | compute the estimated operating profit per thousand cookies. |
d. | Explain the difference between the profits obtained from the traditional system and the ABC |
Answer 1
falseAnswer 2
a.activity-cost-driver rate | = packaging overhead / packaging hours |
b. |
Revenue | = 1,000 × $0.75 | = $ 750.00 |
Direct Material | = 1,000 × $.015 | = ($150.00) |
Direct Labor | = 1,000 × $.02 | = ($ 20.00) |
Overhead | = ($189.48) |
Operating Profit | = $ 390.52 |
Overhead per direct labor hour | = Total Overhead / Total Direct Labor Hours |
Revenue | = 1,000 × $0.75 | = $ 750.00 |
Direct Material | = 1,000 × $.015 | = ($150.00) |
Direct Labor | = 1,000 × $.02 | = ($ 20.00) |
Overhead | = ($150.00) |
Operating Profit | = $ 430.00 |
d. | Traditional system: | Operating profit per batch of sugar cookies is $430.00. |
| ABC system: | Operating profit per batch of sugar cookies is $390.52. |
