Tribute Inc. makes two styles of trophies, basic and deluxe, and operates at capacity. Tribute does large custom orders. Tribute budgets to produce 10,000 basic trophies and 5,000 deluxe trophies. Manufacturing takes place in two production departments: forming and assembly. In the forming department, indirect manufacturing costs are accumulated in two cost pools, set up and general overhead. In the assembly department, all indirect manufacturing costs are accumulated in one general overhead cost pool. The basic trophies are formed in batches of 200 but because of the more intricate detail of the deluxe trophies, they are formed in batches of 50. (Click the icon to view budgeted information.) Read the fequirements .... Requirement 1. Calculate the budgeted unit cost of basic and deluxe trophies based on a single plant-wide overhead rate, if total overhead is allocated based on total direct costs. (Don't forget to include direct material and direct manufacturing labor cost in your unit cost calculation.) (Round all intermediary and final calculations to the nearest cent, $X.XX.) Basic Deluxe Unit cost Requirement 2. Calculate the budgeted unit cost of basic and deluxe trophies based on departmental overhead rates, where forming department overhead costs are allocated based on direct manufacturing labor costs of the forming department and assembly department overhead costs are allocated based on total direct manufacturing labor costs of the assembly department. (Round all intermediary and final calculations to the nearest cent, $X.XX.) Basic Deluxe Unit cost Requirement 3. Calculate the budgeted unit cost of basic and deluxe trophies if Tribute allocates overhead costs in each department using activity-based costing, where setup costs are allocated based on number of batches and general overhead costs for each department are allocated based on direct manufacturing labor costs of each department. (Round the budgeted setup rate to the nearest whole dollar and the budgeted supervision rate to the nearest cent. Round your final answers to the nearest cent, $X.XX.) Basic Deluxe Unit cost Requirement 4. Explain briefly why plant-wide, department, and activity-based costing systems show different costs for the basic and deluxe trophies. Which system would you recommend and why? V and costs of deluxe trophies This is because As Tribute uses more refined cost pools, the costs of basic trophies and basic trophies in the simple costing system. v trophies use a higher proportion of cost drivers. Direct costs are for deluxe trophies compared to basic trophies. This results in deluxe trophies being Tribute use the activity-based costing system because it helps managers The activity-based costing system is to understand which V pricing, cost reduction, and design decisions.
