    Dastin Brass: Cost Activity Analysis

    - Activity-based costing analysis estimates the unit cost of valves to be $37.7, pumps to be $48.8, and flow controllers to be $100.75 per unit. - The traditional and revised standard costing methods produce different results because they allocate overhead costs differently - traditional allocates based on direct labor while revised allocates based on material costs. - Reducing the production runs for flow controllers from 10 runs per month to a single run could help reduce the unit cost for flow controllers by lowering setup costs.

    2.Compare the estimated costs you calculate to existing standard costs (Exhibit 3) and the revised unit costs (Exhibit 4). What causes the different product costing methods to produce such different results?

    Unit Costs (Revised) Standard Unit Costs (ABC Analyze)

    63.12 58.95 48.8

    56.5 47.96 100.75

    Here we have over valued pumps in traditional method and flow controllers seems to be under valued. because the traditional method allocates overhead as a part of direct labor. so, flow controllers appear cheaper than they are because the overhead they create gets applied across the other two products (valves and pumps). Activity analysis reflects this providing pumps a lower unit cost because overhead that should have been allocated to flow controllers was not being allocated to pumps under this method. In the revised method, we have, valves appear over valued, pumps appear overvalued, and flow controllers appear very, very undervalued. Comparing with activity analysis. Because the revised method applies overhead rate based on material related overhead. We think controllers dont use that much more material than pumps, but they do use much more labor, this is not reflected in the revised standard unit costs Therefore, flow controllers appear much less expensive because overhead produced with the labor going into making flow controllers was being allocated to pumps and valves.

    3. What are the strategic implications of your analysis? Could the production process for flow controllers be changed in such a way to allow Destin Brass Products to reduce the unit cost of flow controllers? How would the change in the lot size for flow controller production affect unit costs? Has Destin Brass Products adopted the most profitable distribution system in the flow controller market? What actions would you recommend to managers at Destin Brass Products Company?

    Implications of ABC analysis indicate that the current production process for flow controllers might be changed to reduce the unit cost of flow controllers. If Destin Brass could reduce the production runs of flow controllers to a single run per month, They will success to reduce the standard unit cost.

    4. Assume that interest in a new basis for cost accounting at Destin Brass Products remains high. In the following month, quantities produced and sold, activities, and costs were all at standard. How much higher or lower would the net income reported under the activitytransactionbased system be than the net income that will be reported under the present, more traditional system? Why? If the interest goes higher on the new cost accounting, the net income reported should not have any different under the each costing analyze systems. Because revenues minus all costs gives net income. SO each accounting system will not change revenues and the total costs. Our method is a mechanism for allocating the costs across the various product lines. So, the net income will be remains constant.
