Question

X Company produces many different products within the same manufacturing plant. It currently uses a single driver, plantwide allocation system to allocate its overhead, with direct labor hours as the most appropriate cost driver. Estimated direct labor hours for 2015 are 90,000; estimated overhead is $168,000.

Assume the following information for one of its products, Product 1, in 2015:

Direct materials	$67,600
Direct labor	$15,552
Direct labor hours	972
Machine hours	1,850

3. Using the single driver system, allocate overhead to Product 1 (round overhead rate(s) to two decimal places).

Question 4   Assume that X Company has decided to switch to a departmental allocation system. It has two departments, and will use direct labor hours as the cost driver in Department 1 and machine hours as the cost driver in Department 2. The following are budgeted costs and driver amounts for these two departments in 2015:

	Department 1	Department 2
Overhead	$110,000	$58,000
Direct labor	$640,000	$800,000
Direct labor hours	40,000	50,000
Machine hours	110,000	140,000

Assume the following information for Product 1 in 2015:

	Department 1	Department 2
Direct labor	$12,176	$3,376
Direct labor hours	761	211
Machine hours	1,030	820

4. Using the departmental system, allocate overhead to Product 1 (round overhead rate(s) to two decimal places).

Question 5   Assume that X Company has decided to switch to an activity-based costing allocation system. It has identified three activities with the following budgeted costs and cost drivers for 2015:

Activity	Budgeted cost	Cost driver
Purchasing	$33,600	4,600 purchase orders
Assembly	$84,000	89,200 parts
Packaging	$50,400	11,500 finished units

 

5. Assume that 569 unis of Product 1 were finished in 2015, requiring 1,274 parts and 42 purchase orders. Using the activity-based costing system, allocate overhead to Product 1 (round overhead rate(s) to two decimal places).
