1. Doede Corporation uses activity-based costing to compute product margins. In the first stage, the activity-based costing system allocates two overhead accounts--equipment depreciation and supervisory expense--to three activity cost pools--Machining, Order Filling, and Other--based on resource consumption. Data to perform these allocations appear below:

Overhead costs:
Equipment depreciation $ 95,000
Supervisory expense $ 10,300

Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activity Cost Pools:

Activity Cost Pools
Machining Order Filling Other
Equipment depreciation 0.60 0.30 0.10
Supervisory expense 0.60 0.20 0.20

In the second stage, Machining costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Order Filling costs are assigned to products using the number of orders. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products.

Activity:

MHs (Machining) Orders (Order Filling)
Product W1 6,180 197
Product M0 14,900 927
Total 21,080 1,124

Finally, sales and direct cost data are combined with Machining and Order Filling costs to determine product margins.

Sales and Direct Cost Data:

Product W1 Product M0
Sales (total) $ 84,300 $ 65,500
Direct materials (total) $ 33,600 $ 18,500
Direct labor (total) $ 24,000 $ 32,100

What is the overhead cost assigned to Product W1 under activity-based costing? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and your final answer to nearest whole dollar amount.)

2. Leaper Corporation uses an activity-based costing system with the following three activity cost pools:

Activity Cost Pool Total Activity
Fabrication 35,000 machine-hours
Order processing 250 orders
Other Not applicable

The Other activity cost pool is used to accumulate costs of idle capacity and organization-sustaining costs.

The company has provided the following data concerning its costs:

Wages and salaries $ 530,000
Depreciation 225,000
Occupancy 245,000
Total $ 1,000,000

The distribution of resource consumption across activity cost pools is given below:

Activity Cost Pools Total
Fabrication Order Processing Other
Wages and salaries 35% 30% 35% 100%
Depreciation 15% 45% 40% 100%
Occupancy 35% 30% 35% 100%

The activity rate for the Order Processing activity cost pool is closest to:

Multiple Choice

  • $2,665 per order

  • $1,335 per order

  • $930 per order

  • $1,041 per order

  • $9.17 per batch
