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 95,000 96,000 126,000 450,000 $1,144,000 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. Estimated Use of Cost Drivers 600 Activity Cost Pools Cost Drivers Purchasing Number of orders Handling materials Number of moves Production (cutting, milling, finishing) Direct labor hours Setting up machines Number of setups Inspecting Number of inspections Inventory control (raw materials and finished goods) Number of components Utilities Square feet occupied 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. $104,200 $112,200 15,000 5,300 60 Direct materials Direct labor Machine hours Direct labor hours Number of purchase orders Number of material moves Number of machine setups Number of inspections Number of components Number of square feet occupied 800 100 450 16,000 8,000 (a) Compute the predetermined overhead rate using traditional costing with machine hours as the basis.
