Lifsey Wedding Fantasy Company makes very elaborate wedding cakes to order. The owner of the company has provided the following data concerning the activity rates in its activity-based costing system:
|
Activity Cost Pools
|
Activity Rate
|
|
Size-related
|
$0.94 per guest
|
|
Complexity-related
|
$31.62 per tier
|
|
Order-related
|
$55.70 per order
|
- The measure of activity for the size-related activity cost pool is the number of planned guests at the wedding reception. The greater the number of guests, the larger the cake.
- The measure of complexity is the number of tiers in the cake.
- The activity measure for the order-related cost pool is the number of orders. (Each wedding involves one order.)
- The activity rates include the costs of raw ingredients, such as flour, sugar, eggs, and shortening. The activity rates don't include the costs of purchased decorations, such as miniature statues and wedding bells, which are accounted for separately.
Data concerning two recent orders are listed here:

Question 19
Becky works on the assembly line of a manufacturing company where she installs a component part for one of the company's products. She's paid $16 per hour for regular time, and time and a half for all work in excess of 40 hours per week. Becky's employer offers fringe benefits that cost the company $3 for each hour of employee time (both regular and overtime). During a given week, Becky works 42 hours but is idle for 3 hours due to material shortages. The company treats all fringe benefits relating to direct labor as added direct labor cost and the remainder as part of manufacturing overhead. The allocation of Becky's wages and fringe benefits for the week between direct labor cost and manufacturing overhead would be
