Kraftprint Corporation owns a small printing press that prints leaflets, brochures, and advertising materials. Kraftprint classifies its various printing jobs as standard jobs or special jobs. (Click the icon to view additional information.) To see how activity-based costing would affect the costs of standard and special jobs, Kraftprint collects the following information for the fiscal year 2017 that just ended. (Click the icon to view the information.) Read the requirements Requirement 1. Calculate the cost of a standard job and a specialjob under the simple costing system.

Kraftprint operates at capacity and allocates all indirect costs using printing machine-hours as the allocation base. Kraftprint is concerned about the accuracy of the costs assigned to standard and special jobs and therefore is planning to implement an activity-based costing system. Kraftprint's ABC system would have the same direct-cost categories as its simple costing system. However, instead of a single indirect-cost pool there would now be six categories for assigning indirect costs: design, purchasing, setup, printing machine operations, marketing, and administration. 1. Calculate the cost of a standard job and a special job under the simple costing system. 2. Calculate the cost of a standard job and a special job under the activity-based costing system. 3. Compare the costs of a standard job and a special job in requirements 1 and 2. Why do the simple and activity-based costing systems differ in the cost of a standard job and a special job? 4. How might Kraftprint use the new cost information from its activity-based costing system to better manage its business? Print Done Print Done
