Read the requirements4
Zippy uses an activity-based costing system. Activity-based costing (ABC) focuses on activities. The costs of those activities become the building blocks for measuring the costs. In this situation, we are … information about each activity. We must use our understanding about the relationship between the cost allocation rates, and the quantity of allocation base to compute the … unit manufacturing costs for each product.
Requirement 1. Compute the total budgeted manufacturing overhead cost for the upcoming year.
Start by determining the budgeted quantity for each step of production. You will need the … data and the total units … in a year for these calculations. Materials handling and insertion of parts are two activities that are … on the number of parts. Let’s start by computing the total parts that Zippy uses in the year. To calculate the total parts we need to multiply the number of parts by the units produced.
Complete the table below……………..
The activity of machine setup is … on the number of setups for the year. We can compute the total setups per year by adding the number of setups for the standard and deluxe models together. Complete the table below………………..
The final activity we must compute is the total direct labor hours in the Finishing Department. We compute the total direct labor hours by multiplying the finishing department direct labor hours per wheel by the number of units produced. Complete the table below
Next we need to determine the activity cost for each step of production. Complete the table below. (Enter the rates to two decimal places.)……………
Finally, we need to determine the total budgeted indirect cost for each activity and the total cost for production. To determine the total budgeted indirect cost for each activity we must multiply the budgeted quantity of cost allocation base by the activity cost allocation rate for the activity. Complete the ………………
Requirement 2. Compute the manufacturing overhead cost per wheel of each model using ABC
The cost allocation rates that we previously … entered into the table for you. Next we need to determine the quantity of cost allocation base … by the standard and deluxe wheel. Note that the setups are per 1,000 wheels for machine setups, so you will have to divide the units … produced by the number of setups per wheel. (Round the cost allocation base to three decimals.)…………..
Finally, we need to determine the… activity cost per wheel for each activity and a grand total for each wheel (standard and deluxe). To determine the … activity cost per wheel, we need to multiply the cost allocation rate by the quantity of cost allocation base … by standard/deluxe. Complete the … table. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)…………
Requirement 3. Compute the company’s traditional plantwide overhead rate. Use this rate to determine the manufacturing overhead cost per wheel under the traditional system.
Complete the formula to determine the plantwide overhead rate. Recall that in Requirement 1 we calculated the total budgeted manufacturing overhead cost. The budgeted total direct labor hours are the sum of the direct labor hours per wheel for the standard and deluxe models multiplied by the units produced, 1,000. Complete the formula below. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)………..
1: More Info
She developed an ABC system very similar to the one … by Zippy’s chief rival. Part of the reason Erickson developed the ABC system was because Zippy’s profits had been declining even though the company had shifted its product mix toward the product that had appeared most profitable under the old system. Before adopting the new ABC system, the company had … a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours that was developed years ago.
