b.Determine the activity-cost-driver rate for setup costs and inspection costs.

 

c.Using the ABC system, for each style of faucet

1.compute the estimated overhead costs per unit.

2.compute the estimated operating profit per unit.

 

d.Explain the differences between the profits obtained from the traditional system and the ABC system. Which system provides a better estimate of profitability? Why?

85) Come-On-In Manufacturing produces two types of entry doors:

Deluxe and Standard.

The assignment basis for support costs has been direct labor dollars. For 2007, Come-On-In compiled the following data for the two products:

DeluxeStandard

Sales units50,000400,000

 

Sales price per unit$650.00$475.00

Direct material and labor costs per unit$180.00$130.00

Manufacturing support costs per unit$

80.00$120.00

 

Last year, Come-On-In Manufacturing purchased an expensive robotics system to allow for more decorative door products in the deluxe product line.

The CFO suggested that an ABC analysis could be valuable to help evaluate a product mix and promotion strategy for the next sales campaign. She obtained the following ABC information for 20X5:

Required:

a.Using the current system, what is the estimated

1.total cost of manufacturing one unit for each type of door?

2.profit per unit for each type of door?

 

b.Using the current system, estimated manufacturing overhead costs per unit are less for the deluxe door ($80 per unit) than the standard door ($120 per unit). What is a likely explanation for this?

 

c.Review the machine-related costs above. What is a likely explanation for machine-related costs being so high? What might explain why total machining hours for the deluxe doors (300,000 hours) are the same as for the standard doors (300,000 hours)?

 

d.Using the activity-based costing data presented above,

1.compute the cost-driver rate for each overhead activity.

2.compute the revised manufacturing overhead cost per unit for each type of entry door.

3.compute the revised total cost to manufacture one unit of each type of entry door.

 

e.Is the deluxe door as profitable as the original data estimated? Why or why not?
