B6 fi E F. G A B CD Straightforward application of activity-based costing VanManufacturing Inc. produces smart pizza oven. In the current period, 750 ovens were assembled. The current production run required 1500 machine hours. The production machines require four "set-ups" for recalibration. Quality checks required 100 hours of final inspection activity. Overhead is estimated at $40 per machine hour, plus $1,000 per "set-up," and $50 per inspection hour. Direct materials and direct labor total $500 per oven. 2 (a) Apply activity-based costing and determine the amount assigned to an oven. 3 (b) For GAAP purposes, Van Manufacturing applies traditional costing methods, and allocates overhead at $60 per machine hour. How much cost would be assigned to the 750 ovens? What is the per unit cost of an oven under the traditional approach?
