Question :
11) Given this change in the cost structure:
A) The : 1217198
11) Given this change in the cost structure:
A) The costing results for chess pieces under the new system depend on the adequacy and quality of the estimated cost drivers and costs used by the system.
B) Chess pieces have benefited from the new system.
C) Chess pieces are definitely more accurately costed.
D) Chess will now have a lower sales price.
12) The goal of a properly constructed ABC system is to:
A) have the most accurate cost system
B) identify more indirect costs
C) develop the best cost system for an economically reasonable cost
D) have separate allocation rates for each department
13) ABC systems always provide decision-making benefits that exceed implementation costs.
14) The primary costs of an ABC system are the measurements necessary to implement the system.
15) Simply because activity-based costing systems employ more activity-cost drivers, they provide more accurate product costs than traditional systems.
16) Rachel’s Pet Supply Corporation manufactures two models of grooming stations, a standard and a deluxe model. The following activity and cost information has been compiled:
Number ofNumber ofNumber of
ProductSetupsComponentsDirect Labor Hours
Standard330650
Deluxe750150
Overhead costs$40,000$120,000
Assume a traditional costing system applies the $160,000 of overhead costs based on direct labor hours.
a.What is the total amount of overhead costs assigned to the standard model?
b.What is the total amount of overhead costs assigned to the deluxe model?
Assume an activity-based costing system is used and that the number of setups and the number of components are identified as the activity-cost drivers for overhead.
c.What is the total amount of overhead costs assigned to the standard model?
d.What is the total amount of overhead costs assigned to the deluxe model?
e.Explain the difference between the costs obtained from the traditional costing system and the ABC system. Which system provides a better estimate of costs? Why?
17) 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 2010, Come-On-In compiled the following data for the two products:
DeluxeStandard
Sales units$50,000$400,000
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 2010:

Packingof shipments$ 5,000,000250,00050,000200,000
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?
f.What considerations need to be examined when determining a sales mix strategy?
