Problem 5-47 Straightforward ABC calculations (LO 5-1. 5-2. 5-4, 5-5) {The foiio wing information appiies to the questions dismayed below} Kitchen King's Toledo plant manufactures three product lines, all multi-burner, ceramic cook tops. The plant's three product models are the Regular {REG}, the Advanced (ADV), and the Gourmet {GMT}. Until recently. the plant used ajob- order product-costing system, with manufacturing overhead applied on the basis of direct-labor hours. The following table displays the basic data upon which the traditional costing system was based. REG ADV GMT Planned annual production: Volume in units 5,999 4,999 1,999 Production runs 49 runs E 125 units 49 runs E 199 units 29 runs E 59 units Direct material $129 $151 $293 Direct labor: $121 $299 $24?

"H x 1.999] The annual budgeted overhead is $1,224,000, and the company's predetermined overhead rate is $12 per direct-labor hour. The product costs for the three product models. as reported under the plant's traditional costing system, are shown in the following table.

E $12) Tut.\" $493.\" $492.\" $696 .199 Kitchen King's pricing policy is to set a target price for each product equal to 130 percent of the full product cost. Due to price competition from other appliance manufacturers, REG units were selling at $525, and ADV units were selling for $623. These prices were somewhat below the rm's target prices. However. these results were partially offset by greater- than-expected prots on the GMT product line. Management had raised the price on the EMT model to $800, which was higher than the original target price. Even at this price, Kitchen King's customers did not seem to hesitate to place orders, Moreover. the company's competitors did not mount a challenge in the market for the GMT product line. Nevertheless, concern continued to mount in Toledo about the difculty in the REG and ADV markets. After all, these were the plant's bread-and-butter products, with projected annual sales of 5,000 REG units and 4,000 ADV units. Kitchen King's director of cost management, Angela Ramirez, had been thinking for some time about a refinement in the Toledo plant's product-costing system. Ramirez wondered if the traditional, volume-based system was providing management with accurate data about product costs. She had read about activity-based costing, and wondered if ABC would be an improvement to the plant's product-costing system. After some discussion, an ABC proposal was made to the company's top management, and approval was obtained. The data collected for the new ABC system is displayed in the following table.
