Schwynn Inc. manufactures street bicycle tires and mountain bicycle tires. To determine the amount of overhead to assign to each product line, the controller, Chu, has developed the following information.

StreetMountain
Estimated tires produced25,00015,000
Direct labor hours per tire24

Total estimated overhead costs for the two product lines are $990,000.

Required:

a.Compute the overhead cost assigned to the street tires and mountain tires, assuming
the
company uses a single cost pool and direct labor hours to allocate overhead costs.
b.Chu is not satisfied with the traditional method of allocating overhead because he
believes
that most of the overhead costs relate to the mountain tire product line because of its
complexity. He therefore develops the following three activity cost pools and related
cost drivers to better understand these costs.


Expected Use of Estimated Overhead
Activity Cost PoolsCost DriversCosts
Setting up machines500 setups$  90,000
Assembling40,000 labor hours500,000
Inspection500 inspections400,000
Compute the activity-based overhead rates for these three cost pools.

c.Compute the cost that is assigned to the street tires and mountain tires product lines
using an activity-based costing system, given the following information.

Expected Use of Cost Drivers per Product
StreetMountain
Number of setups150350
Direct labor hours25,00015,000
Number of inspections180320

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
