International Gems sells fine jewelry and has implemented activity-based costing. Costs in the shipping department have been divided into three cost pools. The first cost pool contains costs that are related to packaging and shipping. International has determined that the number of boxes shipped is an appropriate cost driver for these costs. The second cost pool is made up of costs related to the final inspection of each item before it is shipped and the cost driver for this pool is the number of individual items that are inspected. The final cost pool is used for general operations of the department and the cost driver is the number of orders. Information about the activities is summarized below:
Cost Pool Estimated Total Costs Cost Driver Estimated Annual Activity
Packaging and shipping 67,200 Number of boxes shipped 16,000 boxes
Final inspection 200,000 Number of individual items inspected 100,000 items
General operations 85,000 Number of orders 10,000 orders
During the period, the Southern sales office generated 240 orders for a total of 3,560 items, which were shipped in 1,200 boxes. What amount of shipping department costs should be allocated to these sales?

Answer:67,200

Explanation:

The shipping department cost will be $14200.

The term cost can be termed as the price of buying something or the amount that a company spends on making a product. It is the amount that is charged on something for the product. The incurred cost can have many variables and non-variable costs like purchasing cost, labor, wages, rent, maintenance, raw material, processing cost, packaging, and transportation.

In this Question, the International gems sell their product slots. The shipping department has been divided into three cost pools. The total shipping charges will be the addition of packaging and shipping, Final Inspection, and General operations.

So, the total shipping cost =5040 + 7120 + 2040 = 14200

Thus, the costs that should be allocated to the sales with respect to the shipping charges will be $14,200.

Storm Tools has formed a new business unit to produce battery-powered drills. The business unit was formed by the transfer of selected assets and obligations from the parent company. The unit's initial balance sheet on January 1 contained cash ($500,000), plant and equipment ($2,500,000), notes payable to the parent ($1,000,000), and residual equity ($2,000,000).
The business unit is expected to repay the note at $50,000 per month, plus all accrued interest at 1/2% per month. Payments are made on the last day of each month.
The unit is scheduled to produce 25,000 drills during January, with an increase of 2,500 units per month for the next three months. Each drill requires $40 of raw materials. Raw materials are purchased on account, and paid in the month following the month of purchase. The plant manager has established a goal to end each month with raw materials on hand, sufficient to meet 25% of the following month's planned production.
The unit expects to sell 20,000 drills in January; 25,000 in February, 25,000 in March, and 30,000 per month thereafter. The selling price is $100 per drill. Half of the drills will be sold for cash through a website. The others will be sold to retailers on account, who pay 40% in the month of purchase, and 60% in the following month. Uncollectible accounts are not material. Each drill requires 20 minutes of direct labor to assemble. Labor rates are $24 per hour. Variable factory overhead is applied at $9 per direct labor hour. The fixed factory overhead is $25,000 per month; 60% of this amount is related to depreciation of plant and equipment. With the exception of depreciation, all overhead is funded as incurred.
Selling, general, and administrative costs are funded in cash as incurred, and consist of fixed components (salaries, $100,000; office, $40,000; and advertising, $75,000) and variable components (15% of sales). Prepare a monthly comprehensive budget plan for Storm's new business unit for January through March. The plan should include the (a) sales and cash collections budget, (b) production budget, (c) direct materials purchases and payments budget, (d) direct labor budget, (e) factory overhead budget, (f) ending finished goods budget (assume total factory overhead is applied to production at the rate of $11.73 per direct labor hour), (g) SG&A budget, and (h) cash budget.
