Schell Company manufactures automobile floor mats. It currently has two product lines, the Standard and the Deluxe. Suppose that Schell has conducted further research into its overhead and potential cost drivers. As a result, the company has compiled the following detailed information, breaking total overhead into three cost pools:

Deluxe Floor Mat Line

Required :
1. Calculate the activity rates for each cost pool assuming Schell uses an ABC system. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Activity Rate
Material Handing
Per Material Move
Quality Control
Per Inspection
Maintenance
Per Machine Hourm
2. Calculate the amount of overhead that Schell will assign to the Standard floor mat line. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.
Total Overhead Assigned
3. Determine the amount of overhead Schell will assign to the Deluxe product line. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Total Overhead Assigned

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. The activity rate for each cost pool is

Material handling ($2,300) ÷ (50 + 50) = $23.00

Quality Control ($8,763) ÷ ($570  + 700) = $6.90

Machine Maintenance ($14,360)  ÷ (3,090 + 4,090) = $2.00

2    

Total overhead assigned to the standard floor mat line is

= $23 × 40 + $6.9 × 570 + $2 × 3,090

= $1,150 + $3,933 + $6,180

= $11,263.00

3    

Total overhead assigned to deluxe product line

= $23 × 50 +  $6.9 × 700 + $2 × 4,090

= $1,150 + $4,830 + $8,180

= $14,160.00

Which of the following statements describes the typical effect of creating a large number of refined activity cost pools for a given costing application?1) A complex ABC system with numerous cost pools provides substantial costimprovement over a smaller system with only seven to ten cost pools.2) A system containing a large number of cost pools will not tend to exhibitsubstantial cost accuracy over a system containing seven to ten cost pools.3) With the aid of a computer, every public company should strive to develop as many cost pools as possible because there is virtually no disadvantage of so doing.4) Employees normally develop a deep appreciation for the complexity of a large, tedious ABC system.

The data is D = 50,000/year, S= $500 per order, H = $0.25 per unit per year. Assume a lead time of 3 days.

Fill in the following table. Write out the formulas you are using.

Annual demand
Holding cost (units per year)
Ordering cost
Ordering quantity (EOQ)
Number of orders per year
Average inventory
Maximum inventory
Reorder level
Length of order cycle
Annual holding cost
Annual ordering cost
Annual Affected Inventory Cost

b. Suppose a mistake was made in the data and the correct data is D = 60,000 per year, S = $400 per order, H = $0.20 per unit per year. Calculate the correct EOQ and affected inventory cost.
c. Now suppose we used the incorrect EOQ (based on the first set of data) instead of the correct EOQ. Calculate the affected inventory cost.
d. Compute the percentage error in the EOQ and in the inventory cost.
e. Moral of the story is that incorrect estimation of costs or demand (does or does not) result in substantial deviation from the optimal cost (circle the right answer).
