question 104

Multiple Choice

Addy Company has two products: A and B. The annual production and sales of Product A is 1,700 units and of Product B is 1,100 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 0.6 direct labour hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $98,785.

The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for externalreports. The new activity-based costing system would have three factory overhead activity cost pools-Activity 1, Activity 2, and General Factory-with estimated overhead costs and expected activity as follows:

$\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$$\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$$\text { Expected Activity }$
$\begin{array}{|l|r|r|r|r|r}\hline \begin{array}{l}\text { Activity Cost } \\\text { Pool }\end{array} & \begin{array}{r}\text { Estimated } \\\text { Overhead Cost }\end{array} & \text { Product A } & \text { Product B } & \text { Total } \\\hline \text { Activity 1 } & \$ 30,528 & 1,000 & 600 & 1,600 \\\hline \text { Activity 2 } & 17,385 & 1,700 & 200 & 1,900 \\\hline \text { General Factory } & \underline{50,872} & 510 & 660 & 1,170 \\\hline \text { Total } & \$ 98,785 & & &\\\hline\end{array}$

(Note: The General Factory activity cost pool's costs are allocated on the basis of direct labour hours.)

• A) $5.49.
• B) $11.45.
