Activity-Based Costing
P 2. Boulware Products, Inc., produces printers for wholesale distributors. It
has just completed packaging an order from Shawl Company for 150 print-
ers. Before the order is shipped, the controller wants to compare the unit
costs computed under the company’s new activity-based costing system
with the unit costs computed under its traditional costing system. Boul-
ware’s traditional costing system assigned overhead costs at a rate of 240
percent of direct labor cost.
Data for the Shawl order are as follows: direct materials, $17,552; pur-
chased parts, $14,856; direct labor hours, 140; and average direct labor pay
rate per hour, $17.
