Question

Wilder Company manufactures two models of its banjo, the Basic and the Luxury. The Basic model requires 10,000 direct labor hours and the Luxury requires 30,000 direct labor hours. The company produces 3,400 units of the Basic model and 600 units of the Luxury model each year. The company inspects one Basic for every 100 produced, and inspects one Luxury for every 10 produced. The company expects to incur $84,600 of total inspecting costs this year. How much of the inspecting costs should be allocated to the Basic model using ABC costing?

Answer 1

The inspecting costs should be allocated to the Basic model using ABC costing is $30,600

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the inspecting cost is shown below:

= Total number of basic model inspection + the total number of inspection

where,

Total number of basic model inspection equals to

= Number of units produced ÷ every units produced

= 3,400 units ÷ 100

= $34

And, the total number of inspection equals to

= Total inspection cost ÷ number of inspection

= $84,600 ÷ $94

= 900

The number of inspection includes

= total number of basic model inspection + the total number of luxury model inspection

= $34 + $60 (600 units ÷ 10)

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= 900 × $34

= $30,600
