Figure 4-20 Quasi-Tech Corporation produces specially machined parts. The parts are produced in batches in one continuous manufacturing process. Each part is custom produced and requires special engineering design activity (based on customer specifications) . Once the design is completed, the equipment can be set up for batch production. Once the batch is completed, a sample is taken and inspected to see if the parts are within the tolerances allowed. Thus, the manufacturing process has four activities: engineering, setups, machining, and inspecting. Costs have been assigned to each activity using direct tracing and resource drivers: Owens produces two models: Model X and Model Y. The following table shows how the two products consume activity. Refer to Figure 4-20. Using the activity ratios for engineering and machining, what is the overhead cost assigned to the engineering pool? (round to two decimal places)

A) $1,880,000
B) $2,620,000
C) $2,740,000
D) $2,870,000

E) B) and C)
F) All of the above

Green Mountain Manufacturing has recently installed an activity-based relational data base. Using the information contained in the activity relational table, the following pool rates were computed: Two products are produced by Green Mountain: Normal and Excellent. Each product has an area in the plant that is dedicated to its production. The plant has two manufacturing processes, the Normal process (Process R) and the Excellent process (Process S). Other processes include engineering, product handling, and procurement. The product relational table for Green Mountain is as follows: Required:

Figure 4-4 Mannitou Company made the following predictions for 2014: Job A2 (which was started and completed in June) used 3,000 direct labor hours, 2,000 machine hours, and $57,000 of prime costs. Refer to Figure 4-4. If factory overhead is applied based on machine hours, the cost of Job A2 for the Mannitou Company is

Figure 4-16 Samson Company recently installed an activity-based relational database. Using the information contained in the activity relational table, the following pool rates were computed: $400 per purchase order $24 per machine hour, Process 1 $30 per machine hour, Process 2 $80 per engineering hour Two products are produced by Special Products: L and M. The plant has two manufacturing processes, Process 1 and Process 2. Other processes include engineering, product handling, and procurement. Product L goes through Process 1 while Product M goes through Process 2. The product relational table for Special Products is as follows: Refer to Figure 4-16. How much engineering overhead cost will be assigned to Product M using engineering hours?

Figure 4-21 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: The following overhead costs are reported for the following activities of the production process: Jones manufacturing has used activity based costing to assign costs to Models F and G as given in the table below: Appleby Manufacturing wants to implement an approximately relevant ABC system by using the two most expensive activities for cost assignment. Refer to Figure 4-21. Under this new approach, which two activities would be selected as the cost pools?

Funland Manufacturing Company produces specially machined parts. The parts are produced in batches in one continuous manufacturing process. Each part is custom produced and requires special engineering design activity (based on customer specifications). Once the design is completed, the equipment can be set up for batch production. Once the batch is completed, a sample is taken and inspected to see if the parts are within the tolerances allowed. Thus, the manufacturing process has four activities: engineering, setups, machining, and inspecting. In addition, there is a sustaining process with two activities: providing utilities (plantwide) and providing space. Costs have been assigned to each activity using direct tracing and resource drivers: Activity drivers for each activity have been identified and their practical capacities listed: The cost of unit-level activities are assigned using machine hours The costs of batch-level activities are assigned using number of setups. The costs of facility-level activities are assigned using machine hours. Required:

Activity attributes are nonfinancial and financial information items that describe individual activities.

Unit-based product costing assigns manufacturing and selling costs to products.

For a labor-intensive manufacturing operation, which of the following would be the most appropriate activity driver?

Unit based costing first assigns overhead costs to departmental pools and then assigns these costs to products using predetermined overhead rates.

Figure 4-16 Samson Company recently installed an activity-based relational database. Using the information contained in the activity relational table, the following pool rates were computed: $400 per purchase order $24 per machine hour, Process 1 $30 per machine hour, Process 2 $80 per engineering hour Two products are produced by Special Products: L and M. The plant has two manufacturing processes, Process 1 and Process 2. Other processes include engineering, product handling, and procurement. Product L goes through Process 1 while Product M goes through Process 2. The product relational table for Special Products is as follows: Refer to Figure 4-16. What is the unit cost of Product L?

Figure 4-9 Summer Manufacturing has four categories of overhead. The four categories and expected overhead costs for each category for next year are listed as follows: Currently, overhead is applied using a predetermined overhead rate based upon budgeted direct labor hours. 100,000 direct labor hours are budgeted for next year. The company has been asked to submit a bid for a proposed job. The plant manager feels that obtaining this job would result in new business in future years. Usually bids are based upon full manufacturing cost plus 10 percent. Estimates for the proposed job are as follows: The plant manager has heard of a new way of applying overhead that uses cost pools and activity drivers. Expected activity for the four activity drivers that would be used are: Refer to Figure 4-9. What is the amount of overhead allocated to the proposed job if Winter Manufacturing uses direct labor hours as its only activity driver?
