Activity-Based Costing, Reducing the Number of Drivers and Equal Accuracy

Reducir, Inc., produces two different types of hydraulic cylinders. Reducir produces a major subassembly for the cylinders in the Cutting and Welding Department. Other parts and the subassembly are then assembled in the Assembly Department. The activities, expected costs, and drivers associated with these two manufacturing processes are given below.

Process Activity Cost Activity Driver Expected Quantity
Cutting and Welding Welding $ 776,000 Welding hours 4,000
Machining 450,000 Machine hours 10,000
Inspecting 448,250 No. of inspections 1,000
Materials handling 300,000 No. of moves 12,000
Setups 240,000 No. of setups 100
$2,214,250
Assembly Changeover $ 180,000 Changeover hours 1,000
Rework 61,750 Rework orders 50
Testing 300,000 No. of tests 750
Materials handling 380,000 No. of parts 50,000
Engineering support 130,000 Engineering hours 2,000
$1,051,750

Other overhead activities, their costs, and drivers are listed below.

Activity Cost Activity Driver Quantity
Purchasing $ 135,000 Purchase requisitions 500
Receiving 274,000 Receiving orders 2,000
Paying suppliers 225,000 No. of invoices 1,000
Providing space and utilities 100,000 Machine hours 10,000
Total $ 734,000

Required:

1. Using a plantwide rate based on machine hours, calculate the total overhead cost assigned to each product and the unit overhead cost. If required, round your unit overhead cost answers to the nearest cent.

Total Overhead Cost Unit Overhead Cost
Cylinder A 1200000 800 marked wrong
Cylinder B 2800000 933.33 marked wrong

2. Using activity rates, calculate the total overhead cost assigned to each product and the unit overhead cost. If required, round interim calculations to the nearest cent, and final answers to the nearest dollar.

Total Overhead Cost Unit Overhead Cost
Cylinder A 2200000 1467 - marked wrong
Cylinder B 1800000 600 - marked wrong

3. Calculate the global consumption ratios. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Global Consumption Ratios
Cylinder A .55
Cylinder B .45

4. Calculate the consumption ratios for welding and materials handling (Assembly). Round your answers to two decimal places.

Cylinder A Cylinder B
Welding .40 .60
Materials handling .80 .20

5. Calculate the consumption ratios for inspection and engineering. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Cylinder A Cylinder B
Inspection .50 .50
Engineering 0.75 .25
