Actual production for the month of September 2005 was:
Number of units produced 800 750
Number of orders shipped 200 350
Requirements
Using activity based cost allocation:
1. Compute the allocation rate for each activity using activity-based-cost (ABC) allocation.
2. Allocate the overhead to each model using ABC allocation for the month of September production.
3. Determine the total cost per unit of production for the month of September.
Requirement 1 - Allocation rate for each activity:
Forging casings Rate per pound
Filter packing Rate per pound
Assembly Rate per DL hr.
Packaging and shipping Rate per order
Requirement 2 - Allocation of overhead to each model:
Forging casings MacroFilter MicroFilter
OH allocation per model
Filter packing MacroFilter MicroFilter
OH allocation per model
Assembly MacroFilter MicroFilter
OH allocation per model
Packaging and shipping MacroFilter MicroFilter
OH allocation per model
Requirement 3 - Total cost per unit:
