The manufactured stair components (spindles, risers, hangers, hand rails) permit installation of stairs of varying lengths and widths. All are made of white oak wood. The company's budgeted manufacturing overhead costs for 2016 are as follows: Purchasing $69,000 Handling materials 82,000 Production (cutting, milling, finishing) 210,000 Setting up machines 95,000 Inspecting 90,000 Inventory control (raw materials and finished goods) 126,000 Utilities 180,000 Total budget overhead costs $852,000 For the last four years, Stellar Stairs Co. has been charging overhead to products on the basis of machine hours. For 2016, it has budgeted 100,000 machine hours. Heather Fujar, owner-manager of Stellar Stairs Co., recently directed her accountant, Kiko Nishikawa, to implement the activity-based costing system that she has repeatedly proposed. At Heather Fujar's request, Kiko and the production foreperson identify the following cost drivers and their usage for the previously budgeted overhead cost pools. Purchasing Number of orders 600 Handling materials Number of moves 8,080 Production (cutting, milling, finishing) Direct labour hours 104,440 Setting up machines Number of set-ups 1,530 Inspecting Number of inspections 6,340 600 Purchasing Number of orders Handling materials Number of moves Production (cutting, milling, finishing) Direct labour hours Setting up machines Number of set-ups Inspecting Number of inspections Inventory control 8,080 104,440 1,530 6,340 171,620 (raw materials and finished goods) Number of components Utilities Square metres occupied 9,850 Jason Dion, sales manager, has received an order for 280 stairs from Community Builders, Inc., a large housing development contractor. At Jason's request, Kiko prepares cost estimates for producing components for 280 Stairways so Jason can submit a contract price per stair to Community Builders. She accumulates the following data for the production of 280 stairways: Direct materials $103,600 Direct labour 112,000 Machine hours 14,500 Direct labour hours 5,000 Number of purchase orders 60 Number of material moves 800 Number of machine set-ups 100 Number of inspections 450 Number of components 16,000 Number of square metres occupied 800 v (a\\ Number of components 16,000 Number of square metres occupied 800 V (a) Calculate the predetermined overhead rate using traditional costing with machine hours as the basis.
