Shaker Stairs Co.designs and builds factory-made premium wooden stairways for homes. The manufactured stairway components (spindles, risers, hangers, hand rails) permit installation of stairways of varying lengths and widths. All are of white oak wood. Budgeted manufacturing overhead costs for the year 2020 are as follows. Overhead Cost Pools Purchasing Handling materials Production (cutting, milling, finishing) Setting up machines Inspecting Inventory control (raw materials and finished goods) Utilities Total budgeted overhead costs Amount $75,000 82.000 220,000 105,000 102,000 126,000 270,000 $980,000 For the last 4 years, Shaker Stairs Co. has been charging overhead to products on the basis of machine hours. For the year 2020, 100,000 machine hours are budgeted. Jeremy Nolan, owner manager of Shaker Stairs Co., recently directed his accountant, Bill Seagren, to implement the activity-based costing system that he has repeatedly proposed. At Jeremy Nolan's request, Bill and the production foreman identify the following cost drivers and their usage for the previously budgeted overhead cost pools. Activity Cost Pools Purchasing Handling materials Production (cutting, milling, finishing) Setting up machines Inspecting Inventory control (raw materials and finished goods) Utilities Cost Drivers Number of orders Number of moves Direct labor hours Number of setups Number of inspections Number of components Square feet occupied Estimated Use of Cost Drivers 600 8,000 100,000 1.250 6,000 168,000 90.000 Steve Hannon, sales manager, has received an order for 250 stairways from Community Builders, Inc., a large housing development contractor. At Steve's request, Bill prepares cost estimates for producing components for 250 stairways so Steve can submit a contract price per stairway to Community Builders. He accumulates the following data for the production of 250 stairways. Direct materials $104,000 Direct labor $112,100 Machine hours 15,000 Direct labor hours 5,300 Number of purchase orders 60 Number of material moves 800 Number of machine setups Number of inspections Number of components 16,000 Number of square feet occupied 8,000 100 450
