Exercise 5-20

Traditional method Required:


1) Units produced = 25units (lenses) Direct labor hour = 200hrs (lenses) Units produced = 25 units (mirrors) Direct labor hour = 200hrs (mirrors) Total material handling cost = 50000$ Allocation of overhead as per direct labor hr. (for lenses) = 50000 *200 = 1000 $ 25(200) +25(200) 2) Units produced = 25units (lenses) Direct labor hour = 200hrs (lenses) Units produced = 25 units (mirrors) Direct labor hour = 200hrs (mirrors) Total material handling cost = 50000$ Allocation of overhead as per direct labor hr. (for Mirrors) = 50000 *200 = 1000 $ 25(200) +25(200)

3) Activity based costing (material handling costs)

Material handled 5 (in lenses) Material handled 15 (in mirrors) = (50000 *5/5+15) = 12500$ 12500 is for 25 units So per unit cost is 500$
4) Activity based costing (material handling costs)

Material handled 5 (in lenses) Material handled 15 (in mirrors) = (50000 *15/5+15) = 37500$ 37500 is for 25 units So per unit cost is 1500$
