5. (a) “Unused capacity should be treated as a general cost to be shared across all product lines.” Do
you agree? Explain. 4 (b) Dilon,
Inc. manufactures Cell Phone Charger. Currently the company uses a plant-wide rate for
allocating manufacturing overhead costs. The plant manager believes it is time to refine the
method of cost allocation and has the accounting department to identify the primary production activities
and their cost drivers:
Activities Cost driver Allocation Rate
Material handling Number of parts Tk. 4 per part
Assembly Labour hours Tk. 40 per hour
Inspection Minutes at inspection station Tk. 6 per minute
The current traditional cost method allocates overhead costs based on direct labour hours using a rate of
Tk. 400 per labour hour.
Required:
(1) What are the manufacturing overhead costs per Charger assuming the traditional cost method
is used and a batch of 500 Chargers are produced? The batch requires 1,000 parts,
10 direct labour hours, and 15 minutes of inspection time. 4
(2) What are the manufacturing overhead costs per Charger assuming an activity-based costing method
is used and a batch of 50 Chargers are produced? The batch requires 100 parts, 6
direct manufacturing labour hours and 2.5 minutes of inspection time. 4

It is estimated that 40% of production overheads are variable, while the remainder are fixed.
What would be the profit using absorption costing and marginal costing? 8
7. PQ Ltd makes a product which has a variable production cost of CU8 and a variable selling cost of CU2 per unit. Fixed
costs are CU40,000 per annum, the sales price per unit is CU18, and the current volume of output and sales is 6,000 units.
The company is considering whether to hire an improved machine for production. Annual hire costs would be CU10,000 and
it is expected that the variable cost of production would fall to CU6 per unit.
Requirement
(a) Determine the number of units that must be produced and sold to achieve the same profit as is currently earned, if the
machine is hired. (5)
(b) Calculate the annual profit with the machine if output and sales remain at 6,000 units per annum. (3)
8. TW manufactures two products, the D and the E, using the same material for each. Annual demand for the D is 9,000
units, while demand for the E is 12,000 units.
The variable production cost per unit of the D is CU10, and that of the E CU15. The D requires 3.5 kgs of raw material per
unit, the E requires 8 kgs of raw material per unit.
Supply of raw material will be limited to 87,500 kgs during the year. A sub contractor has quoted prices of CU17 per unit for
the D and CU25 per unit for the E to supply the product. How many of each product should TW manufacture in order to
maximise profits?
Requirement
Determine the profit-maximising production mix, assuming that monthly fixed costs are CU20,000 and that no inventories
are held. (12)
