Question:
Assume the same information as in problem 5-56 above, except that, to improve the accuracy of the ABC-costs, EEI has determined resource consumption rates based on cost drivers instead of estimated-percentage-consumption rates. The resource consumption cost drivers and driver levels are given below:
Resource Driver | Resource Total | |||||
Factory Costs | ||||||
Salaries | 850,000 | Number of employees | 17 | |||
Supplies | 150,000 | Number of machines | 10 | |||
Factory Expense | 550,000 | Square feet, floor space | 22,000 | |||
1,550,000 | ||||||
The resource consumption drivers are used by the activities as follows: | ||||||
Resource | Resource | |||||
Driver | Total | Setup | Assembly | Inspect & Finishing | Packaging | |
Number of employees | 17 | 5 | 6 | 4 | 2 | |
Number of machines | 10 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | |
Square feet, floor space | 22,000 | 4,000 | 8,000 | 6,000 | 4,000 | |
Activities | Activity Driver | |||||
Setup | batch | |||||
Assembly | units | |||||
Inspect and Finishing | hours | |||||
Packaging | hours | |||||
Safe-V | Safe-T | |||||
Batches | 250 | 600 | ||||
Units | 60,000 | 72,000 | ||||
Finishing hours, per unit | 0.2 | 0.3 | ||||
Packaging hours, per unit | 0.1 | 0.15 | ||||
Materials per unit | $3.50 | $6.00 | ||||
Required
1. Determine the amount of the cost pool for each of the four activities.
2. Determine the activity-based rates for assigning factory costs to the two products.
3. Determine the activity-based total unit cost for each of theproducts.
