Addy Company Has Two Products: a and B \quad \quad

question 79

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  Expected Activity \text { Expected Activity }
 Activity Cost  Pool  Estimated  Overhead Cost  Product A  Product B  Total  Activity 1 $30,5281,0006001,600 Activity 2 17,3851,7002001,900 General Factory 50,8725106601,170 Total $98,785\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.)
-The overhead cost per unit of Product B under the activity-based costing system is closest to which of the following?

Apply statistical methods to real-world scenarios, interpreting the results within those contexts.
Understand the mathematical operations and transformations applied to random variables.
Apply probability theory to predict outcomes in binomial and uniform distributions.
Critically evaluate assumptions underlying statistical calculations and their implications.
