Data regarding the two products follow: Direct Labor-Hours per UnitAnnual Production Hubs0.8029,000 units Sprockets0.4045,000 units Additional information about the company follows: a. Hubs require $39 in direct materials per unit, and Sprockets require $12. b. The direct labor wage rate is $18 per hour. c. Hubs are more complex to manufacture than Sprockets and they require special processing. d. The company’s activity-based absorption costing system has the following activity cost pools: EstimatedExpected Activity Activity Cost Pool (and Activity Measure)Overhead CostHubsSprocketsTotal Machine setups (number of setups)$31,590135108243 Special processing (machine-hours)$282,0004,70004,700 General factory (Direct labor-hours)$700,40023,20018,00041, 200 Required: 1. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool. 2. Compute the unit product cost for Hubs and Sprockets using activity-based absorption costing.

Fogerty Company

1. Computation of the Activity Rate for each Activity Cost Pool:

a. Machine setup = $31,590/243 = $130 per setup

b. Special processing = $282,000/4,700 = $60 per machine hour

c. General factory = $700,400/41,200 = $17 per direct labor hour

2. Computation of the Unit Product Cost, using activity-based absorption costing:

                                        Titanium Hubs         Sprockets

Direct materials                      $39.00                 $39.00

Direct labor                              $14.40                   $7.20

Overhead                                $23.93                   $7.11

Total unit cost                         $77.33                  $53.31

Overhead cost per unit   $23.929                    $7.112

e) Activity-based costing system is a costing technique where costs are grouped into activity pools and the costs to be allocated to each product or service depends on its consumption from the activity pools involved.  The identification of activities in an organization is a way of explaining that costs are caused by activities and not by their nature or period incurred.
