Multiple Choice

Appleby Manufacturing uses an activity-based costing system. The company produces Model F and Model G. Information relating to the two products is as follows: $$\begin{array}{l}\begin{array} { l r r } & \text { Model F } & \text { Model G } \\\text { Units produced } & 24,000 & 30,000 \\\text { Machine hours } & 7,500 & 8,500 \\\text { Direct labor hours } & 8,000 & 12,000 \\\text { Material handling (number of moves) } & 4,000 & 6,000 \\\text { Setups } & 5,000 & 7,000 \\\text { Purchase orders } & 30 & 40 \\\text { Inspections } & 10,000 & 14,000 \\\text { Product line variations } & 8 & 12\end{array}\\\text { The following overhead costs are reported for the following activities of the production process: }\\\begin{array} { l r } \text { Material handling } & \$ 40,000 \\\text { Labor-related overhead } & 120,000 \\\text { Setups } & 60,000 \\\text { Product design } & 100,000 \\\text { Batch inspections } & 120,000 \\\text { Central purchasing } & 70,000\end{array}\end{array}$$
Jones manufacturing has used activity based costing to assign costs to Models F and G as given in the table below:
$\begin{array}{|l|c|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline\text { Activity } & \text { Cost Pool } & \text { Driver } & \begin{array}{c}\text { Pool } \\\text { Rate }\end{array} & \begin{array}{c}\text { Model F } \\\text { Activity }\end{array} & \begin{array}{c}\text { Model F } \\\text { Cost }\end{array} & \begin{array}{c}\text { Model G } \\\text { Activity }\end{array} & \begin{array}{c}\text { Model G } \\\text { Cost }\end{array} & \text { Total } \\\hline \begin{array}{l}\text { Material } \\\text { handling }\end{array} & \$ 40,000 & 10,000 & \$ 4 & 4,000 & \$ 16,000 & 6,000 & \$ 24,000 & \$ 40,000 \\\hline \text { Labor related } & \$ 120,000 & 20,000 & \$ 6 & 8,000 & \$ 48,000 & 12,000 & \$ 72,000 & \$ 120,000 \\\text { overhead }\\\hline \text { Setups } & \$ 60,000 & 12,000 & \$ 5 & 5,000 & \$ 25,000 & 7,000 & \$ 35,000 & \$ 60,000 \\\hline \begin{array}{l}\text { Product } \\\text { design }\end{array} & \$ 100,000 & 20 & \$ 5,000 & 8 & \$ 40,000 & 12 & \$ 60,000 & \$ 100,000 \\\hline \begin{array}{l} \text { Batch }\\\text { Inspections }\end{array} & \$ 120,000 & 24,000 & \$ 5 & 10,000 & \$ 50,000 & 14,000 & \$ 70,000 & \$ 120,000 \\\hline \begin{array}{l} \text { Central }\\\text { purchasing }\end{array} & \$ 70,000 & 70 & \$ 1,000 & 30 & \$ 30,000 & 40 & \$ 40,000 & \$ 70,000 \\\hline\text { total }&&&&&\$209,000&&\$301,000&\$510,000\\\hline\end{array}$
Appleby Manufacturing wants to implement an approximately relevant ABC system by using the two most expensive activities for cost assignment.

• A)$204,000
• B)$318,750
• C)$306,000
• D)$191,250
