Davis-Bell Corporation has an activity-based costing system with three activity cost pools - Machining, Setting Up, and Other. The company's overhead costs have already been allocated to the cost pools and total $5,800 for the Machining cost pool, $4,700 for the Setting Up cost pool, and $7,500 for the Other cost pool. Costs in the machining 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. Data concerning the two products are below: MHs Batches Product Z7 3,800 700 Product K9 6,200 300 Total 10,000 1,000 Calculate activity rates for each activity cost pool using activity-based costing. Determine the amount of overhead cost that would be assigned to each product using activity-based costing.

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is given below:

Calculation of Activity Rates

Cost Pool         Cost Driver          Cost          Activity Rate

Machining     Machine Hours     $5800       $0.58 (5800 ÷ 10000)

Setting Up       Batches                $4700       $4.70 (4700 ÷ 1000)

Calculation of Overhead Cost to each Product:

Particulars      Product Z7                      Product K9                      Total

Machining   $2204 ($0.58 × 3800)     $3596 ($0.58 × 6200)    $5800

Setting Up    $3290 ($4.7 × 700)         $1410 ($4.7 × 300)          $4700

                   $5494                               $5006                             $10500
