question 82

Multiple Choice

Reference: 05-01
Acton Company has two products: A and B. The annual production and sales of Product A are 800 units and of Product B are 500 units. The company has traditionally used direct labour-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A requires 0.3 direct labour-hours per unit and Product B requires
0.2 direct labour-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $92,023.
The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based costing system would have three overhead activity cost pools-Activity 1, Activity 2, and General Factory-with estimated overhead costs and expected activity as
follows:  Activity  Expected Activity  Cost Pool  Estimated  Overhead  Costs  Product A  Product B  Total  Activity 1 $14,4875006001,100 Activity 2 $64,8002,5005003,000 General Factory $12,736240100340 Total $92,023\begin{array} { | l | l | l | l | l | } \hline \text { Activity } & & { \text { Expected Activity } } \\\hline \text { Cost Pool } & \begin{array} { l } \text { Estimated } \\\text { Overhead } \\\text { Costs }\end{array} & \text { Product A } & \text { Product B } & \text { Total } \\\hline \text { Activity 1 } & \$ 14,487 & 500 & 600 & 1,100 \\\hline \text { Activity 2 } & \$ 64,800 & 2,500 & 500 & 3,000 \\\hline \text { General Factory } & \$ 12,736 & 240 & 100 & 340 \\\hline \text { Total } & \$ 92,023 & & & \\\hline\end{array} (Note: The General Factory activity cost pool's costs are allocated on the basis of direct labour-hours.)
