world Pet Supply Corporation manufactures two models of grooming stations, a standard and a deluxe model. The following activity and cost information has been compiled:

Number of Number of Number of

Product Setups Components Direct Labor Hours

Standard 3 30 650

Deluxe 7 50 150

Overhead costs $40,000 $120,000

Assume a traditional costing system applies the $160,000 of overhead costs based on direct labor hours.

a. What is the total amount of overhead costs assigned to the standard model?

b. What is the total amount of overhead costs assigned to the deluxe model?

Assume an activity-based costing system is used and that the number of setups and the number of components are identified as the activity-cost drivers for overhead.

c. What is the total amount of overhead costs assigned to the standard model?

d. What is the total amount of overhead costs assigned to the deluxe model?

e. Explain the difference between the costs obtained from the traditional costing system and the ABC system. Which system provides a better estimate of costs? Why?
