Activity 1. Now, it’s your turn to apply activity-based costing. Read each problem carefully and
provide what is required.
Problem 1 (adapted)
Kai Corp. manufactures two models of beds, the standard and the deluxe model. The
following activity and cost information has been compiled:
Required:
Compute the total amount of overhead costs assigned to each model using:
Formula:
𝐵𝑢𝑑𝑔𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝐹𝑂𝐻
𝐹𝑂𝐻 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 =
𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝐵𝑎𝑠𝑒
Solution:
𝐵𝑢𝑑𝑔𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝐹𝑂𝐻
𝐹𝑂𝐻 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 = 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝐵𝑎𝑠𝑒
𝑃90,000
𝐹𝑂𝐻 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 = 650 +150
𝑃90,000
𝐹𝑂𝐻 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 = 800
𝑭𝑶𝑯 𝑹𝒂𝒕𝒆 = 𝟏𝟏𝟐. 𝟓/𝑫𝑳𝑯
No. of components Given:
1. Budgeted FOH = P210,000
2. No. of DLH – Standard = 650
3. No. of DLH – Deluxe = 150
Formula:
𝐵𝑢𝑑𝑔𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝐹𝑂𝐻
FOH 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 = 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝐵𝑎𝑠𝑒
Solution:
𝐵𝑢𝑑𝑔𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝐹𝑂𝐻
FOH 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 = 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝐵𝑎𝑠𝑒
𝑃210,000

𝑃210,000
FOH 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 = 800

Formula:
𝐵𝑢𝑑𝑔𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝐹𝑂𝐻
𝐹𝑂𝐻 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 = 𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝐷𝑟𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑟
Solution:
𝐵𝑢𝑑𝑔𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝐹𝑂𝐻
FOH 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 = 𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝐷𝑟𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑟
𝑃210,000
FOH 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 = 90 +150
𝑃210,000
FOH 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 = 240
𝑭𝑶𝑯 𝑹𝒂𝒕𝒆 = 𝟖𝟕𝟓/𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔
3. Discuss the effects of the difference in the computed amounts of overhead costs.
Standard Deluxe
Difference in 243,750 – 105,750 = 138,000 56,250 – 194,250 = (138,000)
computation
Effects Unit Cost (FOH) = OVERSTATED Unit Cost (FOH) = UNDERSTATED
Profit = UNDERSTATED Profit = OVERSTATED
The computation of overhead costs under Traditional Costing System differs from the
Activity-based Costing System. Shown in the table above, an overstatement of 138,000 in terms
of unit cost and an understatement of 138,000 in terms of profit is derived under Traditional
Costing System. On the other hand, an understatement of 138,00 in terms of unit cost and an
overstatement of 138,000 in terms of profit is derived under Activity-based Costing System.
From here on, we can draw an insight that there is an inverse relationship between the unit cost
and profit in both costing systems. As a result, the allocated overhead cost for Standard is higher
than Deluxe while the allocated overhead cost for Deluxe is lower than Standard.
