Calculate Overhead Cost Assigned To A Product

Question

Brisky 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

$35,000

Supervisory expense

$15,800

 

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 I3

5,760

112

Product U8

20,800

999

Total

26,560

1,111

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

Sales and Direct Cost Data:

Product I3

Product U8

Sales (total)

$70,400

$61,400

Direct materials (total)

$36,200

$22,100

Direct labor (total)

$17,200

$34,400

What is the overhead cost assigned to Product I3 under activity-based costing?

a. $30,480.00

b. $8,002.00

c. $6,624.00

d. $1,378.00

    Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
