Alabama Paper Company manufactures three products (computer paper, newsprint, and specialty paper) in a continuous production process. Senior management has asked the controller to conduct an activity-based costing study. The controller identified the amount of factory overhead required by the critical activities of the organization as follows:
| Activity | Activity Cost Pool | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Production | Â | $430,700 | Â | |
| Setup | Â | 165,600 | Â | |
| Moving | Â | 70,200 | Â | |
| Shipping | Â | 149,600 | Â | |
| Product Engineering | Â | 44,800 | Â | |
| Â | Total | Â | $860,900 | Â |
The activity bases identified for each activity are as follows:
| Activity | Activity Base |
| Production | Machine hours |
| Setup | Number of setups |
| Moving | Number of moves |
| Shipping | Number of customer orders |
| Product Engineering | Number of test runs |
The activity-base usage quantities and units produced for the three products were determined from corporate records and are as follows:
| Â | Â | Machine Hours | Number of Setups |
Number of Moves |
Number of Customer Orders |
Number of Test Runs |
Units |
| Computer Paper | 3,210 | 100 | 180 | 880 | 40 | 8,025 | |
| Newsprint | 2,040 | 150 | 270 | 2,420 | 250 | 5,100 | |
| Specialty Paper | 2,050 | 150 | 450 | 1,100 | 110 | 5,125 | |
| Â | Total | 7,300 | 400 | 900 | 4,400 | 400 | 18,250 |
Each product requires 0.9 machine hour per unit.
If required, round all per unit amounts to the nearest cent.
1. Determine theactivity rate for each activity.
| Production | $ per machine hour |
| Setup | $ per setup |
| Moving | $ per move |
| Shipping | $ per cust. ord. |
| Product Engineering | $ per test run |
2. Determine the total and per-unit activity cost for all three products. Round per unit answers to the nearest cent.
| Â | Total Activity Cost | Activity Cost per Unit |
| Computer Paper | $ | $ |
| Newsprint | $ | $ |
| Specialty Paper | $ | $ |
