Solution

To calculate the product margin for Product M5 under activity-based costing, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the cost per unit for each activity cost pool.

    • Processing cost per machine-hour (MH): 4,830/10,500MHs=4,830 / 10,500 MHs = 0.46 per MH
    • Supervising cost per batch: 29,120/1,300batches=29,120 / 1,300 batches = 22.4 per batch
  2. Assign the costs to Product M5.

    • Processing cost for Product M5: 600 MHs * 0.46perMH=0.46 per MH = 276
    • Supervising cost for Product M5: 650 batches * 22.4perbatch=22.4 per batch = 14,560
  3. Calculate the total cost for Product M5.

    • Total cost = Direct materials + Direct labor + Processing cost + Supervising cost
    • Total cost = 32,800(Directmaterials)+32,800 (Direct materials) + 43,100 (Direct labor) + 276(Processingcost)+276 (Processing cost) + 14,560 (Supervising cost) = $90,736
  4. Calculate the product margin for Product M5.

    • Product margin = Sales - Total cost
    • Product margin = 96,900(Sales)96,900 (Sales) - 90,736 (Total cost) = $6,164

So, the product margin for Product M5 under activity-based costing is 6,164.Therefore,thecorrectansweris6,164. Therefore, the correct answer is 6,164.
