9) Munar Corporation uses activity-based costing to compute product margins.
Overhead costs have already been allocated to the company’s three activity cost
pools-Machining, Order Filling, and Other. The costs in those activity cost pools appear
below:
Machining costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Order Filling
costs are assigned to products using the number of orders. The costs in the Other
activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data appear below:
Finally, sales and direct cost data are combined with Machining and Order Filling costs
to determine product margins.
