Exam 7: Activity-Based Costing: a Tool to Aid Decision Making

Sukhu Corporation's activity-based costing system has three activity cost pools--Fabricating, Setting Up, and Other. The company's overhead costs have already been allocated to these cost pools as follows: Costs in the Fabricating cost pool are assigned to products based on machine-hours (MHs) and costs in the Setting Up cost pool are assigned to products based on the number of batches. Costs in the Other cost pool are not assigned to products. The following table shows the machine-hours and number of batches associated with each of the company's two products: Required:Calculate activity rates for each activity cost pool using activity-based costing. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Mcnamee Corporation's activity-based costing system has three activity cost pools--Fabricating, Setting Up, and Other. Costs in the Fabricating cost pool are assigned to products based on machine-hours (MHs) and costs in the Setting Up cost pool are assigned to products based on the number of batches. Costs in the Other cost pool are not assigned to products. The activity rate for Fabricating is $0.33 per machine-hour; the activity rate for Setting Up is $3.49 per batch. The following table shows the machine-hours and number of batches associated with each of the company's two products: Required:Determine the amount of overhead cost that would be assigned to each product using activity-based costing. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
