Solution

To calculate the gross margin for Product 1 using activity-based costing, we first need to allocate the manufacturing overhead costs based on batch-level and product line manufacturing.

  1. Batch-level manufacturing overhead allocation: Total overhead cost is 600,000.Product1has20batchesandProduct2has60batches.So,thetotalnumberofbatchesis80.Theallocationrateperbatchis600,000. Product 1 has 20 batches and Product 2 has 60 batches. So, the total number of batches is 80. The allocation rate per batch is 600,000 / 80 = 7,500perbatch.Therefore,theallocatedbatchlevelmanufacturingoverheadforProduct1is7,500 per batch. Therefore, the allocated batch-level manufacturing overhead for Product 1 is 7,500 * 20 = $150,000.

  2. Product line manufacturing overhead allocation: Total overhead cost is 400,000.Product1has10linesandProduct2has40lines.So,thetotalnumberoflinesis50.Theallocationrateperlineis400,000. Product 1 has 10 lines and Product 2 has 40 lines. So, the total number of lines is 50. The allocation rate per line is 400,000 / 50 = 8,000perline.Therefore,theallocatedproductlinemanufacturingoverheadforProduct1is8,000 per line. Therefore, the allocated product line manufacturing overhead for Product 1 is 8,000 * 10 = $80,000.

  3. Total allocated manufacturing overhead for Product 1 is 150,000(batchlevel)+150,000 (batch-level) + 80,000 (product line) = $230,000.

  4. Now, we can calculate the gross margin for Product 1. Gross margin is Sales - Direct Materials - Direct Labor - Manufacturing Overhead. So, the gross margin for Product 1 using activity-based costing is 1,400,000(Sales)1,400,000 (Sales) - 200,000 (Direct Materials) - 600,000(DirectLabor)600,000 (Direct Labor) - 230,000 (Manufacturing Overhead) = $370,000.
