Alpha Technology produces two products: a high-end laptop under the label Excellent Laptops and an inexpensive desktop under the label Outstanding Computers. The two products use two overhead activities, with the following costs:
Setting up equipment $3,000
Machining $15,000
The controller has collected the expected annual prime costs for each product, the machine hours, the setup hours, and the expected production. Excellent Laptops Outstanding Computers
Direct Labor $25,000 $10,000
Direct Materials $20,000 $5,000
Expected Production in Units 3,000 3,000
Machine Hours 850 2,000
Setup Hours 80 75
Calculate Outstanding Computer's consumption ratio for setup hours. (Note: Round your answer to two decimal places.)
a. 0.25
b. 0.48
c. 0.75
d. 0.45
e. 0.90

Answer:

Alpha Technology

Outstanding Computer's consumption ratio for setup hours is:

b. 0.48

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Overhead activities and costs:

Setting up equipment $3,000

Machining $15,000

                                            Excellent      Outstanding

                                             Laptops        Computers

Direct Labor                         $25,000         $10,000

Direct Materials                   $20,000          $5,000

Expected Production in Units 3,000             3,000

Machine Hours                           850             2,000

Setup Hours                                  80                  75

Total setup hours = 155 hours

Outstanding Computer's consumption ratio for setup hours = 75/155 * 100

= 48%
