Prism Company has two service departments: security departments and maintenance departments that give services to two producing departments: machining department and assembling department. Security department costs will be allocated using the number of employees and maintenance department costs will be allocated using direct labor hours. For calculation of predetermined rate, machine hours and direct labor hours are used for machining and assembling departments, respectively.
Mirabile Corporation uses activity-based costing to compute product margins. Overhead costs have already been allocated to the company's
three activity cost pools--Processing, Supervising, and Other. The costs in those activity cost pools appear below:
Processing
Supervising
Other
Processing costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Supervising costs are assigned to products using the number of
batches. The costs in the other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data appear below:
