Recalling the ABC (Activity-Based Costing) from his education at Mason, the company’s controller, Claire, proposed the use of a new costing system, ABC, for computing the costs of each product line. Its activity-based costing system uses two​ indirect-cost pools. One cost pool is for setup costs (which is $145,800 in total) and the other for general manufacturing overhead (which is also $145,800 in total). It allocates setup costs to the two lamps based on setup labor-hours and general manufacturing overhead costs on the basis of direct manufacturing labor-hours. The budgeted cost information is as follows:    Basic Lamps Designer Lamps Total Direct materials per lamp $ 5 $ 21   Direct manufacturing labor per lamp 0.5 hours 0.8 hours   Direct manufacturing labor rate per hour $ 30 $ 30   Setup costs     $145,800 Lamps produced per batch 210 34   Setup labor-hours per batch 1 hour 2 hours   General manufacturing overhead costs     $145,800 Now that the company is using the activity-based costing system, compute the setup cost allocation rate. (Hint: First calculate how many setup labor-hours would be needed to manufacture 21,000 basic lamps and 5,100 designer lamps.) Answer: $         per setup labor-hour

For the exam, you may use one blank sheet of paper, front and back. Now Show the blank sheet of paper to the camera to confirm it is empty. Starting with question 26, each workout problem is worth 75% for the correct answer and 25% for showing your work. Following each workout problem, space is provided to show your calculations and reasoning. Even if your answer is correct, you must show your work for the workout problems to receive full credit! I acknowledge that I have read the exam instructions.
