Smelly Perfume Company manufactures and distributes


several different products. The company
currently uses a plantwide allocation method for allocating
overhead at a rate of $7 per direct labor hour.
Cindy is the department manager of Department C which
produces Products J and P. Department C has
$16,200 in traceable overhead. Diane is the department
manager of Department D which manufactures
Product X. Department D has $11,100 in traceable overhead.

Addy Company makes two products: Product A and Product


B. Annual production and sales are 1,700
units of Product A and 1,100 units of Product B. The
company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as

Addy Company makes two products: Product A and Product


B. Annual production and sales are 1,700
units of Product A and 1,100 units of Product B. The
company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as
the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products.
Product A requires 0.3 direct labor hours
per unit and Product B requires 0.6 direct labor hours per
unit. The total estimated overhead for next
period is $98,785.
The company is considering switching to an activity-based
costing system for the purpose of computing
unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based
costing system would have three overhead
activity cost pools--Activity 1, Activity 2, and General Factory-
-with estimated overhead costs and
expected activity as follows:
(Note: The General Factory activity cost pool's costs are
allocated on the basis of direct labor hours.)
