Custom Luxury Yatchs (CLY) makes three different styles of personal yachts: Baja; Saria; and Terra. Given that each yacht is significantly different from the others, the company utilizes a job-order costing system to allocate costs to different jobs. CLYs CEO, Sarah, decided that given the process for making the customized yachts was fairly labour intensive, that they would use direct labour hours as the basis for overhead allocation. In December, 2017, Jessica, the controller, estimated the following amounts for the year 2018:

Direct material

$22,265,000

Direct Labour

$198,000,000

Overhead

$110,000,000

Construction Labour Hours (DL)

625,000

Jessica recorded the following actual direct material and direct labour hours for the only three yachts started and completed during the last quarter of 2016:

Baja

Saria

Terra

Direct Material

$12,500,000

$8,500,000

$15,000,000

Construction Labour Hours

62,000

50,000

68,000

Required

  1. Compute the cost of each job using the current system of cost allocation (around to the nearest full dollar).

Answer:

Baja Saria Terra
Direct Material $ 12,500,000.00 $ 8,500,000.00 $ 15,000,000.00
Direct Labor $ 19,641,600.00 $ 15,840,000.00 $ 21,542,400.00
Overheads $ 10,912,000.00 $ 8,800,000.00 $ 11,968,000.00
Total $43,053,600.00 $33,140,000.00 $48,510,400.00

Working note:

Baja Saria Terra
Direct Material 12500000 8500000 15000000
Direct Labor =198000000/625000*62000 =198000000/625000*50000 =198000000/625000*68000
Overheads =110000000/625000*62000 =110000000/625000*50000 =110000000/625000*68000

2. Custom Luxury Yachts Controller, Jessica, recently heard about using an activity-based costing (ABC) system, thus suggested the company use ABC to determine the costs of the three yachts. Jessica was able to break-down the estimated 2018 overhead costs as follows:

Activity

Amount

Activity Measure

Total Activity Level

Planning & Design

$12,000,000

Computer Hours

450,000 Computer Hours

Fabricating

$32,000,000

Machine Hours

505,000 machine hours

Moulding

$21,000,000

Construction Labour Hours

625,000 construction labour hours

Assembly

$42,000,000

Set-Ups

1,540 Set Ups

Testing

$3,000,000

Number of tests

625 tests

Jessica also documented the following consumption of activity by each of the three jobs/yachts (note these are in addition to the construction labour hours consumed by the three jobs.

Baja

Saria

Terra

Planning & Design Hours

55,000

42,000

62,000

Fabricating Machine Hours

51,000

35,000

64,000

Assembly Set-Ups

280

220

450

Tests

85

65

92

Compute the following

  • The activity rates for each of the activities (round to two decimal places)
  • Total cost of each job (yachts) using activitybased costing (around to the nearest full dollar amount).
