Multiple Choice Question Valpar Company produces several lines of laundry hampers. The factory is highly automated and uses an activity-based costing system to allocate overhead costs to its various products. During the upcoming period the company expects to produce 72,000 units. The costs and cost drivers associated with four activity cost pools are given below: Activities Unit Level Batch Level Product Level Facility Level Cost $20,000 $10,000 $15,000 $36,000 Cost Driver 4,000 labor hours 400 set-ups % of use 72,000 units Production of 20,000 units of its popular foldable hamper required 2,000 labor hours, 20 setups, and consumed one-quarter of the product sustaining activities. What amount of batch-level costs will be allocated to the product

Answer:

$500

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the amount of batch-level costs that will be allocated to the product

Using this formula

Allocation rate=(Total batch level overhead cost/Total activity base ) * Set-ups

Let plug in the formula

Allocation rate=( $10,000/400 set-ups) *20 set-ups

Allocation rate=$25 per set-up *20 set-ups

Allocation rate=$500

Therefore the amount of batch-level costs that will be allocated to the product is $500

Direct labor hours were estimated as follows:______.
Fabrication Department................................................................4,000 hours
Assembly Department....................................................................4,000
Total..................................................................................................8,000 hours
In addition, the direct labor hours (dlh) used to produce a unit of each product in each
department were determined from engineering records, as follows:_______.
Production Departments Gasoline Engine Diesel Engine
Fabrication Department 6.0 dlh 4.0 dlh
Assembly Department 4.0 6.0
Direct labor hours per unit 10.0 dlh 10.0 dlh
