    ACCA · Question 08 · Cost Accounting Techniques

    Section A

    SiliconForge, a tech hardware manufacturer, uses Activity-Based Costing (ABC). The total cost of the 'Quality Testing' cost pool is $120,000. The cost driver is the number of test runs. Product X requires 400 test runs, and Product Y requires 600 test runs. How much of the Quality Testing cost should be apportioned to Product X?

    Answer options:

    A.

    $60,000

    B.

    $48,000

    C.

    $72,000

    D.

    $40,000

    How to approach this question

    Calculate the total number of cost drivers (400 + 600). Find the cost per driver ($120,000 / 1,000). Multiply by Product X's usage (400).

    Full Answer

    B.$48,000✓ Correct
    Under ABC, costs are apportioned based on cost driver usage. Total drivers = 1,000 test runs. Cost per driver = $120,000 / 1,000 = $120/run. Product X cost = 400 runs * $120 = $48,000.

    Common mistakes
