Requirement 1. Calculate the cost of an interior door and an exterior door under the existing simple costing system.
Before calculating the cost of an interior and exterior door, begin by calculating the overhead rate under the simple costing system. First select the formula, then enter the applicable amounts and calculate the rate. (Round your answer to the nearest cent. Abbreviations used: bgt. = budgeted, qty = quantity.)
Now calculate the cost of an interior door and an exterior door under the existing simple costing system. Start by calculating total costs and then calculate the cost per unit for each product. (Round interim calculations to the nearest cent and your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
Now calculate the cost per unit for each product under the simple costing system. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
Requirement 2. Calculate the cost of an interior door and an exterior door under an activity-based costing system.
Begin by calculating the ABC allocation rate for each activity. First select the formula, then enter the applicable amounts and calculate the rates. (Round your answers to the nearest cent. Abbreviations used: Bgt. = Budgeted, mach. = machine, mat. = material, prod. = production, sch. = scheduling, qty. = quantity.)
Now calculate the cost of an interior door and an exterior door under an activity-based costing system. (Round interim calculations to the nearest cent and your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
Now calculate the cost per unit for each product under ABC. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
