When using activity-based costing methods, first actions are identified, then the costs of each are calculated for the common cost pools and then the overhead cost is determined for each cost pool according to the cost driver for the activity. Because it pinpoints specific cost-drivers, it can provide more accurate cost data than conventional costing techniques.
1) Hours of direct labor for product A = 16,000 units×0.5 DLH/unit = 8,000 hrs
Product B: Direct Labor Hours = 3,600 Units×1.5 DLH/unit = 5,400 hrs
Overhead costs = Engineering support+Electricity+Setup costs
= $53,600+$43,880+$171,520= $268,000
