Activity-based Costing (ABC)

ReebookRealflex produces shoes for circuit training and walking. Recently, the management of the company has decided to adopt the activity-based costing system and has identified three activity cost pools. Information on its annual overhead costs and the activity cost pools are as follows: Activity cost pools ( rate of consumption )                                              Overhead costs        Leather cutting        Insole fabrication      other        Total Production overhead              RM240,000                 35%                         45%                       20%      100%       Office  expense                      RM160,000                 15%                         55%                       30%      100%   

    The "Other" activity cost pool consists of the costs of idle capacity and organization-sustaining costs. The amount of activity for the year is as follows: Activity Cost Pool Annual Activity Leather cutting 4,000 yards Insole fabrication 100 jobs Other Not applicable
