* The company operates a JUSt-m-ttme inventory policy and receives each component once per
production run.
In the past, the company has allocated overheads to products on the basis of direct labour
hours. However, the majority of overheads are related to machine hours rather than direct
labour hours. The company has recently redesigned its cost system by recovering
overheads using two volume related bases: machine hours and a materials handling
overhead rate for recovering overheads of the receiving department. Both the current and
the previous cost system reported low profit margins for product X, which is the
company's highest-selling product. The management accountant has recently attended a
conference on activity-based costing, and the overhead costs for the last period have been
analyzed by the major activities in order to compute activity-based costs.
From the above information, you are required to:
(a) Compute the product costs using a traditional volume-related costing system based on
the assumption that:
(i) All overheads are recovered on the basis of direct labour hours (i.e. the company's
past product costing system);
(ii) The overheads of the receiving department are recovered by a materials handling
overhead rate and the remaining overheads are recovered using a machine hour rate
(i.e. the company current costing system).
(b) Compute product costs using an activity-based costing system.
