Accounting Oct 07, 2020

akara Company has been using direct labor costs as the basis for assigning overhead to its many products. Under this allocation system, product A has been assigned overhead of $31.58 per unit, while product B has been assigned $8.69 per unit. Management feels that an ABC system will provide a more accurate allocation of the overhead costs and has collected the following cost pool and cost driver information:

Materials handling  168,000   Pounds of materials  21,000 

Electric power.  40,000   Kilowatt-hours  40,000 

 

The following cost information pertains to the production of A and B, just two of Hakara's many products:

Number of units produced  4,000   20,000 

Direct materials cost $31,000  $33,000

 Direct labor cost $33,000  $33,000 

Number of setup hours  200   200 

Pounds of materials used  1,000   2,000 

Kilowatt-hours  4,000   4,000
