MUF, a Chartered Accounting firm, has provided audit and tax services to busi- nesses in the London area for over 50 years. Recently, the firm decided to use ABM and activity-based costing to assign its overhead costs to those service functions. Ginny Fior is interested in seeing how the change from the traditional to the activity-based costing approach affects the average cost per audit job. The following information has been provided to assist in the comparison:
Total direct labor costs
£400,000
Other direct costs
120,000
Total direct costs
£520,000
The traditional costing approach assigned overhead costs at a rate of 120 percent of direct labor costs.Data for activity-based costing of the audit function follow.
