Dykema Corporation uses activity-based costing to compute product margins. Overhead costs have already been allocated to the company’s three activity cost pools-Processing, Supervising, and Other. The costs in those activity cost pools appear below:

Processing costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Supervising costs are assigned to products using the number of batches. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data appear below:

Finally, sales and direct cost data are combined with Processing and Supervising costs to determine product margins.

In the second stage, Processing costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Supervising costs are assigned to products using the number of batches. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data for the company’s two products follow:

Finally, sales and direct cost data are combined with Processing and Supervising costs to determine product margins.

In the first stage allocations, costs in the two overhead accounts, equipment depreciation and supervisory expense, are allocated to the three activity cost pools based on resource consumption. Data used in the first stage allocations follow:

Machining costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Order Filling costs are assigned to products using the number of orders. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data for the company’s two products follow:

Finally, the costs of Machining and Order Filling are combined with the following sales and direct cost data to determine product margins.
