Question

The Skagit Company manufactures Hooks and Nooks. The following shows the activities per product and total activity information: Setups Inspections Assembly (dlh) Hooks - 4,000 units 1 3 1 Nooks - 8,000 units 2 2 3 Activity Pool Activity Base Budgeted Activity Cost Setups 20,000 $ 60,000 Inspections 24,000 120,000 Assembly (dlh) 28,000 420,000 Calculate the total factory overhead to be charged to each unit of Hooks.

Answer 1

Answer:

Total factory overhead to be charged to each unit of Hooks is $33

Explanation:

Sum of all Activity Cost = Total Factory Overhead

Calculate the total factory overhead to be charged to each unit of Hooks

Activity rate = Budgeted amount / Total of each activity base

∴ Activity Rate

      For Setups = 60,000 / 20,000 = 3 per setup

      For Inspections = 120,000 / 24,000 = 5 per inspections

      For Assembly = 420,000 / 28,000 = 15 per dlh

Activity Cost = Activity base for each unit * Activity rate

∴ Activity Cost

      For Setups = 1 x 3 = $3

      For Inspections = 3 x 5 = $15

      For Assembly = 1 x 15 = $15

Recall that;

Sum of all Activity Cost is the Total Factory Overhead

= $3 + $15 + $15

= $33
