St. james, inc., currently uses traditional costing procedures, applying $800,000 of overhead to products beta and zeta on the basis of direct labor hours. the company is considering a shift to activity-based costing and the creation of individual cost pools that will use direct labor hours (dlh), production setups (su), and number of parts components (pc) as cost drivers. data on the costs pools and respective driver volumes follow:

pool no. 1 pool no. 2 pool no. 3

product (driver: dlh) (driver: su) (driver: pc)

beta 1,200 45 2,250

zeta 2,800 55 750

pool cost $160,000 $280,000 $360,000

1. the overhead cost allocated to beta by using traditional costing procedures would be:

a. $240,000

b. $356,000

c. $444,000

d. $560,000

The overhead cost allocated to Beta using traditional costing

Overhead allocation rate

= Budgeted overhead

Budgeted direct labour hours

= $800,000

4,000 hours

= $200 per direct labour hour

Overhead allocated to Beta

= $200 x 1,200 hours

= $240,000

The correct answer is A

2. The total overhead allocated to Zeta using traditional costing

= $200 x 2,800 hours

= $560,000

The correct answer is D

3. The total overhead allocated to Beta using activity-based costing

Direct labour hours

Cost driver rate

= $160,000

4,000 hours

= $40 per direct labour hour

Set-up

Cost driver rate

= $280,000

100

= $2,800 per set-up

Number of parts Components (PU)

Cost driver rate

= $360,000

3,000

= $120 per pc

Total overhead allocated

= $40 x 1,200 + $2,800 x 45 + $120 x 2,250

= $444,000

The correct answer is C

4. The total overhead cost allocated to Zeta using activity-based costing

= $40 x 2,800 + $2,800 x 55 + $120 x 750

= $356,000

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

In traditional costing, overhead allocation rate is total budgeted overhead ($800,000) divided by total budgeted direct labour hours (4,000 hours).

Overhead allocated to each product is calculated as overhead allocation rate multiplied by budgeted hours for each product.

In activity-based costing, cost driver rate is the estimated overhead for each cost pool divided by the total cost driver for each cost pool.

Overhead allocated to each product is the cost driver rate for each cost pool multiplied by the cost driver for each product.

For each of the following cases determine the ending balance in the inventory account. (hint: first, determine the total cost of inventory available for sale. next, subtract the cost of the inventory sold to arrive at the ending balance.)a. jill’s dress shop had a beginning balance in its inventory account of $40,000. during the accounting period jill’s purchased $75,000 of inventory, returned $5,000 of inventory, and obtained $750 of purchases discounts. jill’s incurred $1,000 of transportation-in cost and $600 of transportation-out cost. salaries of sales personnel amounted to $31,000. administrative expenses amounted to $35,600. cost of goods sold amounted to $82,300.b. ken’s bait shop had a beginning balance in its inventory account of $8,000. during the accounting period ken’s purchased $36,900 of inventory, obtained $1,200 of purchases allowances, and received $360 of purchases discounts. sales discounts amounted to $640. ken’s incurred $900 of transportation-in cost and $260 of transportation-out cost. selling and administrative cost amounted to $12,300. cost of goods sold amounted to $33,900.a& b. cost of goods avaliable for sale? ending inventory?
