Institute Technologies is choosing new cost drivers for its accounting system. One driver is labor hours, the other is a combination of machine hours for unit variable costs and number of setups for a pool of batch-level costs. Data for the past year follow.
Budget
Labor hours 200,000
Machine hours 360,000
Number of setups 3,000
Unit variable cost pool $1,600,000
Batch-level cost pool $ 900,000
Actual
200,000
450,000
3,300
$2,000,000
$ 990,000
Assume that the two separate pools are used for Institute. The flexible budget dollar amounts for the actual level of machine hours and actual number of setups are: __________.
Unit Variable Cost Pool Batch-Level Cost Pool
a) $1,600,000 $900,000
b) $1,600,000 $990,000
c) $2,000,000 $900,000
d) $2,000,000 $990,000
e) $2,500,000 $ 0

Answer:

d) $2,000,000 $990,000

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Unit variable cost pool is

= Budgeted cost ÷ Budgeted machine hours

= $1,600,000 ÷ 360,000

=$ 4.444 per machine hour

And,

Batch-level cost pool = Budgeted cost ÷ Budgeted number of setups

= $900,000 ÷ 3000

= $ 300 per setup

Now

Unit variable cost pool is

= Actual machine hours × Activity rate

= 450000 × 4.44

= $2,000,000

And, Batch-level cost pool is

= Actual number of setups × Activity rate

= 3300 × 300

=$990,000
