Question 2: Allocating costs using ABC You have an ABC system with three pools number of cost driver units total cost in the pool product A product B total pool 1 $20,000 4,000 DL$ 6,000 DL$ 10,000 DL$ pool 2 $15,000 20 setups 30 setups 50 setups pool 3 $10,000 50 hours 150 hours 200 hours Compute the activity rates and the allocated costs for products A and B. activity rate allocated costs for product A allocated costs for product B pool 1 $ per DL$ $ $ pool 2 $ per setup $ $ pool 3 $ per hour $ $ total allocated costs for each product $ $

Results are below.

Explanation:

To calculate the activities rates, we need to use the following formula on each pool:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Pool 1= 20,000/10,000= $2 per direct labor dollar

Pool 2= 15,000/50= $300 per setup

Pool 3= 10,000/200= $50 per hour

Now, we can allocate costs to each product:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Product A:

Pool 1= 2*4,000= 8,000

Pool 2= 300*20= 6,000

Pool 3= 50 *50= 2,500

Total allocated costs= $16,500

Product B:

Pool 1= 2*6,000= 12,000

Pool 2= 300*30= 9,000

Pool 3= 50 *150= 7,500

Total allocated costs= $28,500

don't use it that much
