1)Budgeted Overhead Rate as per Traditional costing system

Budgeted Overhead Rate = Total Budgeted Overheads/ Budgeted machine hours

Total Budgeted Overheads = $938,000

Budgeted machine hours = 10,000 hours

Budgeted Overhead Rate = $938,000/10,000

Budgeted Overhead Rate = $93.80 per machine hour

2. Manufacturing cost as per Traditional costing system

Cost Amount ($)  
Direct Material 379 Working Note - A
Direct Labor 407 Working Note - B
Overhead Cost 4,845.71 $93.8 * 51.66
Total manfacturing cost per working desk $5,631.71  

Working Notes

A

Direct material for 300 working desk = $113,600

Direct material per working desk = $113,600/300 = $378.66

Direct material per working desk = $379

B

Direct labor for 300 working desk = $122,000

Direct labor per working desk = $122,000/300 = $406.66

Direct labor per working desk = $407

C

Machine hours required for 300 working desks = 15,500 hours

Machine hours required per working desk = 15,500/300 = 51.66 hours

Machine hours required per working desk = 52 hours

3. Manufacturing cost as per Activity Based costing system

Cost Amount ($)  
Direct Material 379 Working Note - A
Direct Labor 407 Working Note - B
Overhead Cost 287.87 Working Note - C
Total manfacturing cost per working desk $1,073.87  

Working Notes

A

Direct material for 300 working desk = $113,600

Direct material per working desk = $113,600/300 = $378.66

Direct material per working desk = $379

B

Direct labor for 300 working desk = $122,000

Direct labor per working desk = $122,000/300 = $406.66

Direct labor per working desk = $407

C Overhead cost

Overhead cost for 300 working desks = $86,360

Overhead cost per working desk = $86,360/300 = $287.87

Overhead cost per working desk = $288

4. Activity based costing system is more relevant than traditional costing system as it measures the overhead cost more accurately. Also, it prevents over costing and thereby helps in quoting correct prices to our customers. Activity based costing helps to make appropriate cost pools and determine the cost accurately. Thereby, it helps in better decision making. Also, it helps in noticing the areas where we are spending more than its requirement. It helps to control and manage the cost of the whole operations.

2)To record the transactions in ledger, we have to prepare journal entries. Journal entry is the basic recording of accounting transactions. It records items in terms of debit and credit. On the basis of the journal, postings are made to ledgers.

? Payment to Arnie:

Amount payable = Purchase amount - Returns - Discount

Purchase amount = $1,050
Returns = $200
Discount = (Purchase amount - Returns) × 2% = ($1,050 - $200) × 2% = $17
(The discount term was 2/10)

Amount payable = $1,050 - $200 - $17 = $833

? Payment to Woods Sportswear:

Amount payable = Purchase amount - Returns - Discount

Purchase amount = $560
Returns = $60
Discount = (Purchase amount - Returns) × 2% = ($560 - $60) × 1% = $5
(The discount term was 1/10)

Amount payable = $560 - $60 - $5 = $495
