; FN Measurement 227) Flyer Corporation manufactures two products, Product A and Product B. Product B is of fairly recent origin, having been developed as an attempt to enter a market closely related to that of Product A. Product B is the more complex of the two products, requiring three hours of direct labor time per unit to manufacture compared to one and one-half hours of direct labor time for Product A. Product B is produced on an automated production line. Overhead is currently assigned to the products on the basis of direct-labor-hours. The company estimated it would incur $396,000 in manufacturing overhead costs and produce 5,500 units of Product B and 22,000 units of Product A during the current year. Unit costs for materials and direct labor are: Product A Product B Direct material $9 $20 Direct labor $7 $15 Required: a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate under the current method of allocation and determine the unit product cost of each product for the current year. b.

157) Adelberg Company has two products: A and B. The annual production and sales of Product A is 500 units and of Product B is 1,000 units. The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A requires 0.4 direct labor-hours per unit and Product B requires 0.2 direct labor-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $68,756. The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based costing system would have three overhead activity cost pools—Activity 1, Activity 2, and Order Size—with estimated overhead costs and expected activity as follows: Estimated Expected Activity Activity Cost Pools Overhead Costs Product A Product B Total Activity 1 $ 31,031 1,000 300 1,300 Activity 2 22,249 1,600 300 1,900 Order size 15,476 200 200 400 Total $ 68,756 (Note: The Order Size activity cost pool's costs are allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours.)

155) Adelberg Company has two products: A and B. The annual production and sales of Product A is 500 units and of Product B is 1,000 units. The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A requires 0.4 direct labor-hours per unit and Product B requires 0.2 direct labor-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $68,756. The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based costing system would have three overhead activity cost pools—Activity 1, Activity 2, and Order Size—with estimated overhead costs and expected activity as follows: Estimated Expected Activity Activity Cost Pools Overhead Costs Product A Product B Total Activity 1 $ 31,031 1,000 300 1,300 Activity 2 22,249 1,600 300 1,900 Order size 15,476 200 200 400 Total $ 68,756 (Note: The Order Size activity cost pool's costs are allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours.)

156) Adelberg Company has two products: A and B. The annual production and sales of Product A is 500 units and of Product B is 1,000 units. The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A requires 0.4 direct labor-hours per unit and Product B requires 0.2 direct labor-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $68,756. The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based costing system would have three overhead activity cost pools—Activity 1, Activity 2, and Order Size—with estimated overhead costs and expected activity as follows: Estimated Expected Activity Activity Cost Pools Overhead Costs Product A Product B Total Activity 1 $ 31,031 1,000 300 1,300 Activity 2 22,249 1,600 300 1,900 Order size 15,476 200 200 400 Total $ 68,756 (Note: The Order Size activity cost pool's costs are allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours.)

25) The activity rates in activity-based costing are computed by dividing the direct labor-hours for an activity cost pool by the measure of activity for the activity cost pool.

3) The challenge in designing an activity-based costing system is to identify all of the activities that explain the variation in overhead costs.

5) In general, activities and costs on different levels in the cost hierarchy—such as unit-level and batch-level costs and activities—should be combined in an activity-based costing system if doing so simplifies the costing system.

27) In activity-based costing, unit product costs computed for external financial reports include manufacturing overhead costs that are computed by multiplying activity rates by the activities required to produce a product.

answer: TRUE Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Computing Product Costs Learning Objective: 04-03 Compute product costs using activity-based costing. Bloom's: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA: FN Measurement;

28) When a company changes from a traditional costing system to an activity-based costing system, the unit product costs of low-volume products typically increase more than the unit product costs of high-volume products decrease.

answer: TRUE Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Shifting of Overhead Costs Learning Objective: 04-04 Contrast the product costs computed under activity-based costing and conventional costing methods. Bloom's: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA: FN Measurement;

31) When a company implements activity-based costing, overhead cost often shifts from high-volume products to low-volume products, with a higher unit cost resulting for the low-volume products.

answer: TRUE Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Shifting of Overhead Costs Learning Objective: 04-04 Contrast the product costs computed under activity-based costing and conventional costing methods. Bloom's: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA: FN Measurement;

30) When a company changes from a traditional costing system to an activity-based costing system, costs will ordinarily shift from high-volume products to low-volume products when the activity-based costing system includes batch-level or product-level costs.
