5-21: Tioga Company manufactures lenses and mirrors used in large optical telescopes.

The company is now preparing its annual profit plan. As part its analysis of the profitability of individual products, the controller estimates the amount of overhead that should be allocated to the individual product lines from the following information. Lenses Units produced............................................ Material moves per product line.................. !irect"labor hours per unit........................... 25 5 2## Mirrors 25 5 2##

The total budgeted material-handling cost is $ 50,000. Required: 1. Under a costing system that allocates overhead on the basis of direct-labor hours, the material-handling costs allocated to one lens would be what amount? . !nswer the same "uestion as in re"uirement #1$, but for mirrors. %. Under activity-base costing the material-handling costs allocated to one lens would be what amount? The cost driver for the material-handling activity is the number of material moves. &. !nswer the same "uestion as in re"uirement #%$, but for mirrors. 5-22: Urban 'lite (osmetics has used a traditional cost accounting system to a))ly "uality-control costs uniformly to all )roducts at a rate of 1&.5 )ercent of direct-labor cost. *onthly direct-labor cost for +atin +heen ma,eu) is $ -,500. .n an attem)t to more e"uitably distribute "ualitycontrol costs, management is considering activity-based costing.
