E19-15 Computing and using single plantwide overhead allocation rate
Learning Objective 1
Basic $234,000
Aragon makes handheld calculators in two models: basic and professional. Aragon estimated $851,500
of manufacturing overhead and 655,000 machine hours for the year. The basic model actually consumed
180,000 machine hours, and the professional model consumed 475,000 machine hours.
Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rate using machine hours (MHr) as the allocation
base. How much overhead is allocated to the basic model? To the professional model?

Aragon (see Exercise E19-15) makes handheld calculators in two models—basic and professional—and

Erickson Company manufactures wheel rims. The controller expects the following ABC allocation rates
for 2016:
Requirements
1. Compute the total estimated indirect manufacturing cost for 2016.
2. Compute the estimated ABC indirect manufacturing cost per unit of each model. Carry each cost to
the nearest cent.
3. Prior to 2016, Erickson used a direct labor hour single plantwide overhead allocation rate system.
Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rate based on direct labor hours for 2016. Use this
rate to determine the estimated indirect manufacturing cost per wheel rim for each model, to the

E19-20 Using activity-based costing to make decisions
Learning Objectives 1, 2, 3
1. Deluxe GP $149.20
Refer to Exercise E19-19. For 2017, Erickson’s managers have decided to use the same indirect
manufacturing costs per wheel rim that they computed in 2016. In addition to the unit indirect
manufacturing costs, the following data are expected for the company’s standard and deluxe models for
2017:
Requirements
1. If Erickson’s managers rely on the ABC unit cost data computed in Exercise E19-19, which model
will they produce? Carry each cost to the nearest cent. (Ignore selling and administrative expenses
for this calculation.)
2. If the managers rely on the single plantwide overhead allocation rate cost data, which model will
they produce?
3. Which course of action will yield more income for Erickson?
SOLUTION
Requirement 1
If Erickson’s managers rely on the ABC unit cost data calculated in E19-19, they will choose to produce
the standard rims because gross profit per standard rim is $182.20 compared to only $149.20 per deluxe
rim.

If Erickson’s managers rely on the single plantwide overhead allocation rate cost data calculated in E19-

to only $147.65 per standard rim.

Requirement 3
Producing the standard rims will yield more income for Erickson because activity-based costing
allocation of manufacturing overhead is more accurate than single plantwide rate allocation of

E19-21 Using activity-based management and target costing
Learning Objective 3
OH cost per unit $406.80
Refer to Exercises E19-19 and E19-20. Controller Michael Bender is surprised by the increase in cost of
the deluxe model under ABC. Market research shows that for the deluxe rim to provide a reasonable
profit, Erickson will have to meet a target manufacturing cost of $525.00 per rim. A value engineering
study by Erickson’s employees suggests that modifications to the finishing process could cut finishing
cost from $80.00 to $60.00 per hour and reduce the finishing direct labor hours per deluxe rim from 2.50
hours to 2.0 hours. Direct materials would remain unchanged at $50.00 per rim, as would direct labor at
$54.00 per rim. The materials handling, machine setup, and insertion of parts activity costs also would
remain the same.
Would implementing the value engineering recommendation enable Erickson to achieve its target cost
for the deluxe rim?

E19-22 Using activity-based costing to make decisions
Learning Objectives 1, 2, 3
1. Cost per collar $12.22
Destiny Dog Collars uses activity-based costing. Destiny’s system has the following features:
Requirements
1. Compute the total estimated cost Destiny will incur to purchase the needed materials and then
assemble and package 25,000 dog collars. Also compute the cost per collar.
2. For bidding, Destiny adds a 25% markup to total cost. What total price will the company bid for the
entire Animal Hut order?
3. Suppose that instead of an ABC system, Destiny has a traditional product costing system that
allocates indirect costs at the rate of $9.20 per direct labor hour. The dog collar order will require
14,000 direct labor hours. What total price will Destiny bid using this system’s total cost?
4. Use your answers to Requirements 2 and 3 to explain how ABC can help Destiny make a better
decision about the bid price it will offer Animal Hut.
