Doede Corporation uses activity-based costing to compute product margins. In the first stage, the activity-based costing system allocates two overhead accounts--equipment depreciation and supervisory expense--to three activity cost pools--Machining, Order Filling, and Other--based on resource consumption. Data to perform these allocations appear below: Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activity Cost Pools:
In the second stage, Machining costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Order Filling costs are assigned to products using the number of orders. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products.Activity:
Finally, sales and direct cost data are combined with Machining and Order Filling costs to determine product margins.Sales and Direct Cost Data:
What is the product margin for Product W1 under activity-based costing?
A) $7,996
B) $23,356
C) −$12,800
D) $35,200
Equipment Depreciation
Equipment depreciation refers to the allocation of the cost of tangible assets over their useful lives, representing the wear and tear, deterioration, or obsolescence of physical assets.
Supervisory Expense
Costs related to the management and oversight of operations within an organization.

Verified Answer
Machining: ($400,000 + $200,000) x (2,000/7,000) = $171,429
Order Filling: ($400,000 + $200,000) x (3,000/7,000) = $228,571
Other: $0
Next, we need to assign the costs in the Machining and Order Filling pools to the products:
Product W1 Machining cost: $171,429 x (2,400/12,000) = $34,286
Product W1 Order Filling cost: $228,571 x (80/800) = $22,857
Now we can calculate the product margin:
Product W1 margin = $60,000 - $25,857 - $22,500 - $34,286 = $7,996.
Therefore, the answer is A) $7,996.
