UNIT COSTS
Affect
Bids submitted for special products

LO 1
Expected
Expected activity capacity is output for coming year
Normal activity capacity is average activity
experienced over long term
Theoretical
Theoretical activity capacity is absolute maximum
that can be achieved in perfect world
Practical
Practical activity capacity is maximum that can be
achieved under efficient operation

PLANTWIDE RATE:
An Example
Budgeted overhead $360,000
Expected activity (in DLH) 100,000
Actual activity (in DLH) 100,000
Actual overhead $380,000
Predetermined rate = Budgeted cost / Estimated activity usage
= $360,000 / 100,000
= $3.60 per DLH
Applied overhead = Overhead rate x Actual activity
= $3.60 x 100,000
= $360,000

COMPARING SYSTEMS
Functional-based system
Overhead uses only unit-based activity drivers or
Splits overhead into fixed and variable and
allocates overhead based on the appropriate unit-
level rate
Activity-based system
Improves product costing by
Looking at cause & effect
Recognizing that some fixed overhead varies in
proportion to changes other than production volume
