Hickory Company manufactures two products14,000 units of Product Y and 6,000 units of Product Z. The company uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. It is considering implementing an activity-based costing (ABC) system that allocates all of its manufacturing overhead to four cost pools. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Products Y and Z:

Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Estimated Overhead Cost Expected Activity Machining Machine-hours $ 200,000 10,000 MHs Machine setups Number of setups $ 100,000 200 setups Production design Number of products $ 84,000 2 products General factory Direct labor-hours $ 300,000 12,000 DLHs

Activity Measure Product Y Product Z Machine-hours 7,000 3,000 Number of setups 50 150 Number of products 1 1 Direct labor-hours 8,000 4,000

2.Using the plantwide overhead rate, how much manufacturing overhead cost is allocated to Product Y and Product Z?

3. What is the activity rate for the Machining activity cost pool?

4. What is the activity rate for the Machine Setups activity cost pool?

5. What is the activity rate for the Product Design activity cost pool?

6. What is the activity rate for the General Factory activity cost pool?

7. Which of the four activities is a batch-level activity?

General factory activity Product design activity Machine setups activity Machining activity

8. Which of the four activities is a product-level activity?

Machining activity Product design activity Machine setups activity General factory activity

9. Using the ABC system, how much total manufacturing overhead cost would be assigned to Product Y? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

10. Using the ABC system, how much total manufacturing overhead cost would be assigned to Product Z? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

11. Using the plantwide overhead rate, what percentage of the total overhead cost is allocated to Product Y and Product Z? (Round your "Percentage" answers to 1 decimal place. (i.e. .1234 should be entered as 12.3))

12. Using the ABC system, what percentage of the Machining costs is assigned to Product Y and Product Z?

13. Using the ABC system, what percentage of Machine Setups cost is assigned to Product Y and Product Z?

14. Using the ABC system, what percentage of the Product Design cost is assigned to Product Y and Product Z?

15. Using the ABC system, what percentage of the General Factory cost is assigned to Product Y and Product Z? (Round your "Percentage" answers to 1 decimal place. (i.e. .1234 should be entered as 12.3))
