Reference 05-16 Washie manufactures two types of products for washing vehicles: the washing mitt, and the polishing cloth. Up to this point, Washie has been utilizing traditional costing with one plant-wide overhead rate using machine hours as the allocation base.

Question 36

Reference: 05-07 Alam Company uses activity-based costing to compute product costs for external reports. The company has three activity cost pools and applies overhead using predetermined overhead rates for each activity cost pool. Overapplied or underapplied overhead is closed to the Cost of Goods Sold account at the end of each year. Estimated costs and activities for the current year are presented below for the three activity cost pools: Estimated Overhead Cost Expected Activity Activity 1 \ 29,328 1,200 Activity 2 \ 30,024 2,400 Activity 3 \ 65,142 2,200 Actual costs and activities for the current year were as follows: Actual Overhead Cost Actual Activity Activity 1 \ 29,238 1,185 Activity 2 \ 29,899 2,415 Activity 3 \ 65,117 2,225 -The total debits to the Manufacturing Overhead account during the year were closest to:

Question 38

Reference 05-16 Washie manufactures two types of products for washing vehicles: the washing mitt, and the polishing cloth. Up to this point, Washie has been utilizing traditional costing with one plant-wide overhead rate using machine hours as the allocation base. The company has been receiving complaints that the polishing mitt seems over-priced. Management is wondering if there's merit to this claim since the washing mitt is a more complex product compared to the polishing cloth. As such, management has gathered information on the potential activity areas to be used. Activity Activity Measure Estimated Manufacturing Overhead Cost Design Design hours \ 12,000 Setups Number of set-ups 40,000 Materials Handling Meters of fabric 30,000 Production Machine Hours 250,000 The company expected has determined the expected activity for each of the product lines: During the year, the company sold 100,000 washing mitts and 50,000 polishing cloths. Direct costs are $\$ 8.00$ for washing mitts and $\$ 2.00$ for polishing costs. Activity Measure Washing Mitt Polishing Cloth \# of design hours 50 5 \# of setups 30 20 \# of meters of fabric 4,000 1,000 \# of machine hours 40,000 10,000 -What is the allocation rate for Setups using activity based Costing?
