The new total cost line for D is less steep and has an angle that passes through the
origin (0).
Q
The total cost of sales is equal to $(83,250 + 64,750 + 37,000) = $185,000.
The total number of degrees in the circle is 360, and we need to know the number of
degrees per $1 of cost:
360/185,000 = 0.0019459 per $1 of cost.
Therefore,
x, representing direct materials

y, representing direct labour
z, representing direct materials
= 83,250 x 0.0019459 =
= 64,750 x 0.0019459 =

Statement (i) provides a definition of a cost driver. Cost drivers for long-term variable overhead
costs will be the volume of a particular activity to which the cost driver relates, so Statement (ii) is
correct. Statement (iii) is also correct. In traditional absorption costing, standard high-volume
products receive a higher amount of overhead costs than with ABC. ABC allows for the unusually
high costs of support activities for low-volume products (such as relatively higher set-up costs,
order processing costs and so on).
