Factory Overhead
Traditional Costing
Systems
Typically used one rate to allocate
overhead to products.
This rate was often based on direct
labor dollars or direct labor hours.
This made sense, as direct labor was
a major cost driver in early
manufacturing plants.

ABC Definitions
Activity based costing is an approach
for allocating overhead costs.
An activity is an event that incurs
costs.
A cost driver is any factor or activity
that has a direct cause and effect
relationship with the resources
consumed.
ABC Steps
Determine cost drivers.
Create activity cost pools.
A activity cost pool is a pool of individual
costs that all have the same cost driver.
ABC Steps:
Calculate an overhead rate for each
homogeneous activity cost pool:
Formula: total costs/base = rate

Reduction or elimination of rework

Exercise 5-16
Teledor Inc.
Uses the following cost hierarchy
Unit
Batch
Product line
Facility sustaining
These
are the
cost
drivers!
Exercise 5-16
Teledor manufactures boom boxes.
They differ significantly in
complexity, etc.
The following page shows costs
incurred in 2006.
Exercise 5-16
The
Indirect labor cost $1,000,000
question
Procurement costs $500,000is: What
categorie
Indirect materials cost $250,000
s do each
of these
Machine set-up cost $600,000
costs fit
in?
Design process cost $800,000
Exercise 5-16
Consider two types of boom boxes
made by the company.
One boom box is complex to make
and is produced in many batches.
The other boom box is simple to
make and is produced in few
batches.
Exercise 5-16
Suppose the manufacturer needs the
same number of machine hours to make
each boombox, and that they allocate
overhead costs using machine hours.
Under a traditional system, how (if at all)
might the boom boxes be mis-costed?
Answer: the simple boom box would
receive too much overhead as machine
hours are not a good cost driver.
Exercise 5-16
How is the cost hierarchy helpful to
this company in managing its
business?
Using the cost hierarchy to calculate
activity-based costs can help Teledor
to identify both the costs of individual
activities and the cost of activities
demanded by individual products.
Exercise 5-17
Plymouth Test Laboratories
ABC, Cost Hierarchy, Service
Company
Exercise 5-17
Plymouth Test
Laboratories does
heat testing and
stress testing on
materials.
Exercise 5-17
Under its current simple costing
system, all operating costs
($1,200,000) are allocated to a single
overhead cost pool.
Plymouth calculates a rate for a test
hour at $15 ($1,200,000 divided by
80,000 total test hours).
Exercise 5-17
Of the two departments . . .
Heat Testing uses 50,000 test hours,
and Stress Testing uses 30,000
hours.
The controller feels there should be
separate cost structures and rates
for Heat Testing and Stress Testing.
Exercise 5-17
The controller divides Plymouths
cost into four activity cost categories.
Cost Categories
Direct labor cost of $240,000.
Heat testing $180,000.
Stress testing $60,000.
Exercise 5-17
Setup cost of $350,000 allocated to
the testing and stress testing on the
basis of seven hours required.
Heat testing 13,500 setup hours.
Stress testing 4000 setup hours.
Exercise 5-17
Design cost $210,000.
These costs are allocated on the basis
of time required to design the tests.
Heat testing requires 2,800 hrs.
Stress testing requires 1,400 hours.
Exercise 5-17
Classify each cost as unit, batch,
product line, or facility cost.
Facility Costs
In this problem --apparently none!
There is no cost driver for facility costs. Whether
they are allocated to products or not depends on
the use to which the information will be put.
Facility costs include yard care, painting the
factory, watering the grounds, etc.activities
that are not driven by units, batches, or
products.
Exercise 5-17
Calculate the cost per test hour for
heat testing and stress testing.
Why do these numbers differ from
the $15 per test hour the company
calculated using a simple costing
system?
Lets allocate unit costs first. There are two categories, direct labor
and equipment-related costs.
Direct labor is givenwe just plug the figure.
Cost per hour is calculated by dividing total costs by total hours!
Equipment-related costs are applied using the rate we calculated on
an earlier slide.

Automotive Products
Plantwide, department, and ABC
indirect cost rates
Exercise 5-19
Automotive Products designs and
produces automobile parts.
In 2007, actual variable manufacturing
overhead is $308,600.
The companys simple costing system
allocates variable manufacturing
overhead to its three customers based
on machine hours and prices its
contracts based on full costs.
Exercise 5-19
One of its customers has regularly
complained of being charged
noncompetitive prices, so the
companies controller realizes that it
is time to examine the consumption
of overhead resources more closely.
Exercise 5-19
He knows that there are three main
departments that consume overhead
resources.

Compute the variable manufacturing
overhead allocated to each customer
in 2007 using the simple costing
system that uses machine hours as
the allocation base.
The rate equals:
$308,600/4,000 machine hours =
$77.15 per machine hour.
Exercise 5-19
Allocation of overhead to customers
using this rate
United Motors $77.15 120 = $9,258
Holden Motors $77.15 2800 =
$216,020
Leland Vehicle $77.15 1080 =
$83,322
Total allocated $308,600
Exercise 5-19
Compute the variable manufacturing
overhead allocated to each customer
in 2007 using department-based
variable manufacturing overhead
rates.
First we need to calculate the rates.
We do that on the following slide.

Exercise 5-19
If the new rates are used which
customer will be most unhappy?
One way to answer that question is
to calculate the ratio between the
new rate and the old rate.
Exercise 5-19
How will we explain the rate
increased to United Motors if they
complain?
Let us compare the usage of both the
old and the new driver units to see if
they are now being charged fairly.
Exercise 5-19
Remember, under the first allocation
system they were charged using
machine hours.
Now they are charged according to
their usage of all three cost drivers,
design, engineering, and production.
