A company decide to experiment by applying the principles of ABC to the four product
currently made and sold by the company. Details of the four products and relevant information
are given below for one period:
Product A B C D
Output in units 120 100 80 120
Costs per unit:
Direct material 40 50 30 60
Direct labour 28 21 14 21
Machine hours (per unit) 4 3 2 3
The four products are similar and are usually produced in production runs of 20 units and sold
in batches of 10 units.
The production overhead is currently absorbed by using machine hour rate, and the total of the
production overhead for the period has been analysed as follows:
$
Machine department costs (rent, business rates, depreciation and supervision) 10,430
Set-up costs 5,250
Stores receiving 3,600
Inspection / Quality control 2,100
Materials handling and despatch 4,620
The company ascertained that the ‘cost drivers’ to be used are as listed below for the
overhead costs shown:Cost Cost Driver
Set up costs Number of production runs
Stores receiving Requisitions raise
Inspection / Quality control Number of production runs
Materials handling and despatch Order executedThe number of requisitions raised on the stores was 20 for each product and the number of
orders executed was 42, each order being for a batch of 10 of a product.Required: Calculate the total costs for each product, using activity-based costing.
The Ans is : A – 16,331.08; B – 13,256.92; C – 7,983.69; D – 16,928.31
Below is my calculation ,can i know which step i miss up to calculate? because i cant get the ans for all product.
Set up&inspection
OH cost=5250+2100=7350
Total cost driver=(120/20)+(100/20)+(80/20)+(120/20)=21
7350/21=350A =350×6=2100
B= 350X5=1750
C =350X4=1400
D =350X6=2100stores receiving
OH cost=3600
Total cost driver=20+20+20+20=80
3600/80=45A= 45×20=900
B=45×20=900
C=45×20=900
D=45×20=900Material handling
OH cost=4620
Total cost driver=(120/10)+(100/10)+(80/10)+(120/10)=42
4620/42=110A= 110×12=1320
B=110×10=1100
C=110×8=880
D=110×12=1320Total cost
A=2100+900+1320=4320
B=1750+900+1100=3750
C=1400+900+880=3180
D=2100+900+1320=4320October 17, 2020 at 2:25 pm #589540Why on earth are you attempting a question for which you do not have an answer? You should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved suppliers.
What you have done is correct so far as it goes.
However you have not absorbed the machine department costs of 10,430. There will be absorbed on the basis of machine hours and comes to $8.023 per machine hour.
In addition you are only calculating the total overheads. What about the cost of labour and materials??
October 18, 2020 at 4:16 am #589646the question got the ans but dont have the calculation.
ok,tq i get it alreadyOctober 18, 2020 at 9:56 am #589675You are welcome, but I still suggest that you buy a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers – partly because they have answers together with workings, but also because they have questions in the current exam style (ABC can only be examined in Sections A or B of the exam, and so a full question like this one cannot be asked any more).
September 26, 2022 at 9:56 pm #667256Why in activity Materials Handling you used cost driver Store Requisition?
September 27, 2022 at 7:37 am #667269I have only just noticed that the original posting has been in the Paper MA forum.
This question can not be asked in Paper MA. Full questions on ABC are not asked until Paper PM.
