Question

Angara Corporation uses activity-based costing to determine product costs for external financial reports. The company has provided the following data concerning its activity-based costing system: Activities (and Activity Measures) Estimated Overhead Cost Machine related (machine-hours) $256,520 Batch setup (setups) $261,360 General factory (direct labour-hours) $178,560 Expected Activity Activities Product X Product Y Total Machine related 4,300 6,300 10,600 Batch setup 8,600 1,300 9,900 General factory 3,300 6,300 9,600 Assuming that actual activity turns out to be the same as expected activity, the total amount of overhead cost allocated to Product X would be closest to:

Answer 1

Answer:

The total amount of overhead cost allocated to Product X would be closest to $ 392,480

Explanation:

Activities (and Activity Measures)          Estimated Overhead Cost

Machine related (machine-hours)               $256,520

Batch setup (setups)                                    $261,360

General factory (direct labour-hours)         $178,560

                                                       Expected Activity

Activities                   Product X      Product Y         Total

Machine related          4,300             6,300            10,600

Batch setup                 8,600             1,300              9,900

General factory           3,300             6,300             9,600

The total amount of overhead cost allocated to Product X would be closest to:

Machine related = (4,300 × $256,520) ÷ 10,600 = $104,060

Batch setup = (8,600 × $261,360) ÷ 9,900 = $227,040

General factory = (3,300 × $178,560) ÷ 9,600 = $61,380

Total = $104,060 + $227,040 + $61,380 = $ 392,480
