Bunker makes two types of briefcase, fabric and leather. The company is currently using a traditional costing system with labor hours as the cost driver but is considering switching to an activity-based costing system. In preparation for the possible switch, Bunker has identified two activity cost pools: materials handling and setup. Pertinent data follow:

Fabric Case Leather Case
Number of labor hours 17,000 11,000
Number of material moves 560 1,040
Number of setups 35 135

Total estimated overhead costs are $249,800, of which $192,000 is assigned to the materials handling cost pool and $57,800 is assigned to the setup cost pool.

Required :
1.
Calculate the overhead assigned to the fabric case using the traditional costing system based on direct labor hours. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Overhead assigned:

2.
Calculate the overhead assigned to the fabric case using ABC.

Overhead assigned:

3. Was the fabric case over- or undercosted by the traditional cost system compared to ABC?

If a firm plans to issue new stock, flotation costs (investment bankers' fees) should not be ignored. there are two approaches to use to account for flotation costs. the first approach is to add the sum of flotation costs for the debt, preferred, and common stock and add them to the initial investment cost. because the investment cost is increased, the project's expected return is reduced so it may not meet the firm's hurdle rate for acceptance of the project. the second approach involves adjusting the cost of common equity as follows: . the difference between the flotation-adjusted cost of equity and the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment represents the flotation cost adjustment. quantitative problem: barton industries expects next year's annual dividend, d1, to be $1.90 and it expects dividends to grow at a constant rate g = 4.3%. the firm's current common stock price, p0, is $22.00. if it needs to issue new common stock, the firm will encounter a 6% flotation cost, f. assume that the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment is 12% and the cost of old common equity is 11.5%. what is the flotation cost adjustment that must be added to its cost of retaine
