3.  Exercise 17-1

Wilkins Inc. has two types of handbags:  standard and custom.  The controller has decided to use a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor costs.   The president has heard of activity-based costing and wants to see how the results would differ if this system were used.  Two activity cost pools were developed:  machining and machine set-up.  Presented below is information related to the company’s operations.

                                                            Standard                                 Custom          

Direct labor costs                                $45,000                                   $97,500

Machine hours                                         1,430                                     1,350

Setup hours                                                    98                                                    390

Total estimated overhead cost are $307,700.  Overhead cost allocated to the machining activity cost pool is $196,600, and $111,100 is allocated to the machine setup pool.

1. Compute the overhead rate using the traditional (Plantwide) approach? (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25)

2. Predetermined overhead rate % of Direct Labor cost?

3. Overhead allocated to Machining activity cost pool?

4. Compute the Overhead rates using the activity-based costing approach. (Round answers to 2 decimals places, e.g. $12.25.)

   Machining —————?                                  Setup—————-?

5. Determine the difference in allocation between the two approaches:

6. Traditional costing:  Standard:————–?    Custom:—————?

   Activity-based-costing:  Standard: ————–?         Custom:—————-?
