Accountancy 3200 Spring 2002 2nd Exam
Following is the second exam given in the spring 2002 semester.   We are providing this sample exam to give you    
an idea of the kinds of problems you can expect.  Do not assume, however, that your exam will be just like this    
one or that these are the only topics to be covered.
1. Addy Company has two products A and B.  The annual production and sales of Product A is
1,700 units and of Product B is 1,100 units.  The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours
as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products.  Product A requires 0.3 direct
labor hours per unit and Product B requires 0.6 direct labor hours per unit.  The total estimated
overhead for the next period is $98,785.
The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of
computing unit product costs.  The new activity-based costing system would have three overhead
activity cost pools: Activity 1, Activity 2, and Activity 3--with estimated overhead costs
and expected activity as follows:
       Estimated   Activity
Activity Cost Pool Estimated Overhead Cost Product A Product B Total
Activity 1  $        30,528 1,000 600 1,600
Activity 2  $        17,385 1,700 200 1,900
Activity 3  $        50,872 510 660 1,170
Total  $        98,785
Required: (Round your ansers to the nearest whole cent.)
1.1 What is the predetermined overhead rate under the traditional costing system?
1.2 How much overhead cost will be allocated to one unit of Product B under the
traditional costing system?
1.3 What is the predetermined overhead rate (i.e., the activity rate) for Activity 2
under the activity-based costing system?
1.4 Assume, contrary to fact, the following activity rates:
Activity 1  $      20.00
Activity 2  $        6.00
Activity 3  $      18.00
What is the total overhead cost per unit of Product B under the
activity-based costing system?
2.  Grodt Catering uses activity-based costing for its overhead costs.  The company has
provided the following data concerning the activity rates in its activity-based costing system:
Activity Cost Pools
Preparing Meals Arranging Events
Wages $0.85 $110.00
Supplies $0.50 $310.00
Other $0.30 $120.00
The measure of activity for the Preparing Meals activity cost pool is the number of meals.
The measure of activity for the Arranging Events activity cost pool is the number of events
(i.e., each event is charged with an arranging events cost.)
Management would like to know whether the company made any money on a recent event at
which 60 meals were served.   The company catered the event for a fixed price
of $19.00 per meal.  Raw materials for the meals cost $8.60 per meal.
Required:(Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
2.1 According to the activity-based costing system, what was the total cost (including the
cost of raw ingredients) of the event mentioned above.
2.2 Did the company make or lose money on the event and how much did they make or
lose in total?
3. The PDQ Company makes collections on credit sales according to the following schedule:
25% in the month of sale
70% in the month following sale
4% in the second month following sale
1% uncollectible
The following sales have been budgeted:
Month Sales
April $100,000
May $120,000

June 4,500 units

August 5,300 units
September 6,700 units

Past experience has shown that the ending inventory for each month must be equal to
10% of the next month's sales in units.  The inventory on May 31 contained 450 units. 
        The company needs to prepare a production budget for July -September.
Required: (Round your answer to the nearest whole unit.)
4.1 What is the beginning inventory in units for September?
4.2 What is the total number of units to be produced in July?

8.  The following information pertains to the service department costs and operating department
overhead costs for the Garrison Company:
Service Departments Operating Departments
Personnel Maintenance Fabrication Assembly
Budgeted Overhead $80,000 $144,000 $280,000 $320,000
Direct labor hours 8,000 10,000 32,000 40,000
Machine hours 24,000 16,000
Number of employees 8 10 30 50
The company does not divide costs into fixed and variable components.  Personnel costs
are allocated based on the number of employees and Maintenance costs are allocated
on the basis of machine hours.  Predetermined overhead rates for Fabrication and Assembly
are allocated based on direct labor hours.
 If the step-method is used to allocate service department costs (starting with
Personnel ) what is the amount of Maintenance Department costs that will be
allocated to Assembly?
