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 $ 5,945
Supervising $ 19,680
Other $ 11,300
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:
MHs (Processing) Batches (Supervising)
Product M0 13,700 400
Product M5 800 400
Total 14,500 800
Finally, sales and direct cost data are combined with Processing and Supervising costs to determine product margins.
Product M0 Product M5
Sales (total) $ 81,800 $ 94,400
Direct materials (total)$ 29,400 $ 32,300
Direct labor (total) $ 28,700 $ 42,600
What is the product margin for Product M5 under activity-based costing?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Product margin= $9,332

Explanation:

First, we need to allocate the activity cost to product M5:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Processing= 5,945/14,500= $0.41 per machine hour

Supervising= 19,680/800= $24.6 per batch

Product M5:

Processing= 0.41*800= $328

Supervising= 24.6*400= $9,840

Finally, the total cost and the product margin:

Total cost= 32,300 + 42,600 + (328 + 9,840)

Total cost= $85,068

Product margin= 94,400 - 85,068

Product margin= $9,332
