Gill · Answer 1

The inspecting costs should be allocated to the Basic model using ABC costing is $30,600

Explanation:

The computation of the inspecting cost is shown below:

= Total number of basic model inspection + the total number of inspection

where,

Total number of basic model inspection equals to

= Number of units produced : every units produced

= 3,400 units : 100

= $34

And, the total number of inspection equals to

= Total inspection cost : number of inspection

= $84,600 : $94

= 900

The number of inspection includes

= total number of basic model inspection + the total number of luxury model inspection

= $34 + $60 (600 units : 10)

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= 900 * $34

= $30,600
