Health ’R Us, Inc. uses a traditional product costing system to assign overhead costs uniformly to all its packaged multigrain products. To meet Food and Drug Administration requirements and to assure its customers of safe, sanitary, and nutritious food, Health ’R Us engages in a high level of quality control. Health ’R Us assigns its quality-control overhead costs to all products at a rate of 17% of direct labor costs. Its direct labor cost for the month of June for its low-calorie breakfast line is $70,000. In response to repeated requests from its financial vice president, Health ’R Us’s management agrees to adopt activity-based costing. Data relating to the low-calorie breakfast line for the month of June are as follows.
Activity Cost Pools: Inspection of material received, in process inspections, fda certification
Cost Drivers: Number of pounds, number of serving, customer orders
Overhead Rate: 0.90 per pounds, 0.33 per serving, 12.00 per order.
Number of Cost Drivers: 5,600 pounds, 10,100 serving, 450 orders.
Compute the quality-control overhead cost to be assigned to the low-calorie breakfast product line for the month of June (1) using the traditional product costing system (direct labor cost is the cost driver), and (2) using activity-based costing.
