A cоmpаny hаs аn activity-based cоsting system with three activity cоst pools--Fabricating, Order Processing, and Other. Costs in the two overhead accounts, equipment depreciation and utilities, are allocated to three activity cost pools based on resource consumption. Data used in the first stage allocations follow: Overhead costs: Equipment depreciation $ 80,400 Utilities $ 4,100 Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activity Cost Pools: Activity Cost Pools Fabricating Order Processing Other Equipment depreciation 0.60 0.20 0.20 Utilities 0.60 0.10 0.30 Fabricating costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Order Processing costs are assigned to products using the number of orders. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data for the company's two products follow: Activity: MHs (Fabricating) Orders (Order Processing) Product M0 1,300 790 Product H2 9,540 1,480 Total 10,840 MHs 2,270 Orders What is the overhead cost assigned to Product H2 under activity-based costing? Note: Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and pick the closest answer.
A cоmpаny hаs аn activity-based cоsting system with three activity cоst pools--Machining, Order Filling, and Other. Costs in the two overhead accounts, equipment depreciation and supervisory expense, are allocated to three activity cost pools based on resource consumption. Overhead costs: Equipment depreciation $ 96,000 Supervisory expense $ 8,000 Distribution of resource consumption across activity cost pools uses the following data: Activity Cost Pools Machining Order Filling Other Equipment depreciation 0.30 0.10 0.60 Supervisory expense 0.60 0.10 0.30 Machining costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Order Filling costs are assigned to products using the number of orders. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data for the company's two products follow: MHs (Machining) Orders (Order Filling) Product M0 4,500 400 Product H2 5,500 600 Total 10,000 MHs 1,000 Orders The activity rate for the Order Filling activity cost pool under activity-based costing is closest to:
A cоmpаny uses аctivity-bаsed cоsting tо compute product margins. Overhead costs have already been allocated to the company's three activity cost pools--Processing, Supervising, and Other. The costs in those activity cost pools appear below: Processing $ 3,800 Supervising $ 23,800 Other $ 10,400 Processing costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Supervising costs are assigned to products using the number of batches. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data appear below: MHs(Processing) Batches (Supervising) Product M7 9,700 500 Product XX5 300 500 Total 10,000 MHs 1,000 Batches Finally, sales and direct cost data are combined with Processing and Supervising costs to determine product margins. Product M7 Product XX5 Sales (total) $ 74,100 $ 89,900 Direct materials (total) $ 28,500 $ 31,400 Direct labor (total) $ 27,800 $ 41,700 What is the product margin for Product XX5 under activity-based costing?
