- An activity based costing system is being considered at Evelia, nv to assign products overhead costs; these overhead costs are currently assigned strictly by number of units produced. First, the two overhead costs of Rent expense and Insurance expense would be allocated to three activity cost pools - Finishing, Sanding, and Other - based on resource consumption. The information used to perform these allocations is below: Overhead Costs: Rent expense: $2,000,000 Insurance expense: $1,650,000 Distribution of Resource Consumption across Activity Cost Pools: Overhead Cost Activity Cost Pools Finishing Sanding Other Rent expense 0.45 0.25 0.30 Insurance expense 0.20 0.35 0.45 In the second stage, Finishing costs would be assigned to products using direct labor hours and Sanding costs would be assigned to products using the number of machine hours.

The batch requires 100 parts, 6 direct manufacturing labour hours, and 2.5 minutes of inspection time. £4.00 per remote control £6.55 per remote control £24.00 per remote control £327.50 per remote control C. d.Hensel Manufacturing separates its manufacturing overhead costs into 2 broad categories: (1) maintenance costs and (2) utility costs. Maintenance costs average $100,000 per month, whereas utility costs average $8,000 per month. Maintenance costs are allocated to 2 activity cost pools: (1) the repair cost pool and (2) the set-up cost pool. Utility costs also are allocated to 2 activity cost pools: (1) the heating and air conditioning cost pool (HVAC) and (2) the machinery cost pool. Maintenance costs are allocated to their unique activity cost pools on the basis of the number of employees associated with each pool. Utility costs are allocated to their unique activity cost pools on the basis of kilowatt-hour (kWh) consumption. Of the company's maintenance employees, 70% engage primarily in repair activities, whereas 30% engage primarily in set-up activities. Approximately 75% of the company's kWh consumption can be traced to HVAC use, whereas 25% of its kWh consumption can be traced to…
