Greenwood Company manufactures two products—14,000 units of Product Y and 6,000 units of Product Z. The company uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. It is considering implementing an activity-based costing (ABC) system that allocates all of its manufacturing overhead to four cost pools. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Products Y and Z: Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Estimated Overhead Cost Expected Activity
Machining Machine-hours $200,000 10,000 MHs
Machine setups Number of setups $100,000 200 setups
Production design Number of products $84,000 2 products
General factory Direct labor-hours $300,000 12,000 DLHs
Activity Measure Product Y Product Z
Machining 8,000 2,000
Number of setups 40 160
Number of products 1 1
Direct labor-hours 9,000 3,000

Greenwood Company

1. Company's plantwide overhead rate = $57

2. Allocation of Manufacturing overhead based on plantwide overhead rate:

Product Y = $57 * 9,000 = $513,000

Product Z = $57 * 3,000 =  $171,000

3. Activity rate for the Machining activity cost pool = $20 per MHs.

4. Activity rate for the Machine Setups activity cost pool = $500 per setup.

5. Activity rate for the product Design activity cost pool = $42,000 per product.

6. Activity rate for the General Factory activity cost pool = $25

7. The batch-level activity = Machine setup

8. The product-level activity = Product Design

9. Using the ABC system, Manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Product Y = $447,000

10. Using the ABC system, Manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Product Z = $237,000

11. Using the plantwide overhead rate, the percentage of the total overhead costs allocated to product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 75% ($513,000/$684,000 * 100)

Product Z = 25% ($171,000/$684,000 * 100)

12. Using the ABC system, the percentage of the Machining costs assigned to Product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 80% ($160,000/$200,000 * 100)

Product Z = 20% ($40,000/$200,000 * 100)

13. Using the ABC system, the percentage of the Machine Setups cost assigned to Product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 20% ($20,000/$100,000 * 100)

Product Z = 80% ($80,000/$100,000 * 100)

14. Using the ABC system, what percentage of the product design cost assigned to Product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 50% ($42,000/$84,000 * 100)

Product Z = 50% ($42,000/$84,000 * 100)

15. Using the ABC system, what percentage of the General Factory cost assigned to Product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 75% ($225,000/$300,000 * 100)

Product Z = 25% ($75,000/$300,000 * 100)

answer: b. false

the staff is a set of five horizontal lines and four spaces which represent a different musical pitch. the lines and the spaces are numbered from bottom to top, the bottom line is the first line and the fifth line is the line on the top. the notes on the top of the staff (fifth line) have a higher pitch than a note at the bottom of the staff.
