Problem #2: ACTIVITY BASED COSTING Assume Armstrong Cycles makes two products, a mountain bike, a high-volume product; and a racing bike, a low volume product. The direct labor costs are $30 and $60 per bike for the mountain and racing bikes, respectively. Amrmstrong allocates overhead to products in an amount equal to five times a products direct labor costs. The direct materials costs are $100 and $200 per bike for the mountain and racing bikes, respectively. Adding overhead at the rate of 500 percent of direct labor costs gave the following product costs per unit (plant-wide / traditional method): Mountain Bikes $100 30 150 $280 Racing Bikes $200 60 300 $560

Direct Material Direct Labor Manufacturing Overhead Total

Managers decide to experiment with activity-based costing at the Armstrong factory. The managers first identified four important activities. Second, they estimated the amount of annual overhead and the annual volume-of-activity for each activity as follows:

Activity Cost Driver Purchasing Materials Frames purchased Machine Setups Machine setups Inspections Hours of inspections Running Machines Machine Hours Total Estimated Overhead

Estimated Overhead $ 200,000 800,000 400,000 600,000 $ 2,000,000

Estimated Number of Cost Driver Units 10,000 frames 400 setups 4,000 I hours 20,000 M hours

Picking the month of January for their study, the managers collected the following information about the actual number of cost driver units for each of the two products: Cost Driver Number of frames purchased Number of machine setups Hours of inspections Machine Hours Mountain Bikes 1000 frames 13 setups 200 hours 1500 hours Racing Bikes 200 frames 30 setups 200 I hours 500 M hours

During January, the factory produced 1,000 mountain bikes and 200 racing bikes. Required: See next page
