PorkyCo is a leading bread manufacturer in Toyland operating two functional divisions: pulled and roasted. PorkyCo uses IT systems in all of its functions, for example, accounting has one system, manufacturing has its

system, warehousing has another and human resources is the latest to develop a dedicated system to manage training and development

accountant at PorkyCo, help free up Mr Button's time by suggesting the most efficient way of getting all the information he needs.

Under the absorption costing system, which simply allocates our entire amount of production overheads based on machine hours, we have found that out of our 4 products, 2 are profitable, 1 breaks even and 1 is making a loss.

Model D the most recent addition to the range is making a large loss after the price of a major component rose dramatically. Model A is only just breaking now too as costs have risen. The only two products making profit

are Models B and C. These two require the least about of machine hours so this makes sense.

However, the management have a few reservations. They cannot understand how B is so profitable. It requires several more stages of production than the other models and a whole day longer to be customised by an expert.

Select the correct answer from the list below that can help to explain this situation.

A company currently absorbs production overheads based on labor hours. The overheads absorbed by the two products that are made, L and M, are $4 per unit and $10 per unit respectively. These were based on the budgeted overheads of $7,000 and budgeted labor hours of 1,750. The budgeted output was 500 units of each product.

The company is investigating the use of activity based costing (ABC). Analysis has shown that the total production overheads of $7,000 are made up of $4,000 for set up costs and $3,000 for inspection costs. The cost driver for set up costs is the number of set ups and for inspection costs it is the number of inspections.

The cost driver rate for set ups is $160 per set up. Product L would need 5 production runs. Both types of product would need 1 set up for each production run.

Product L would need 2 inspections for each production run. Product M would need 1 inspection per production run.

The products are made in the same department and use the same equipment and staff but they are produced separately.

Which of the following statements are correct?
