Actual exam question for CIMA's CIMAPRO19-P01-1 exam

Question #: 80
Topic #: 6

XY manufactures a range of products and uses an activity based costing system.

Budgeted production of Product B is 7,500 units.

Overheads have been identified by activity and related to appropriate cost drivers.

Product B is produced in batches of 250 units. Machines have to be reset after every batch and quality inspections are carried out on every third batch.

What is the total overhead cost per unit of Product B?

Give your answer to two decimal places.

A$1.40

Not sure about that, seems a bit low for all those inspections.

I think the total overhead cost per unit should be calculated by dividing the total overhead by the number of units produced, but I need to double-check the batch sizes.

I feel a bit confused about how to account for the quality inspections. Do we include those costs in the total overhead for each unit?

This question seems similar to one we did in class about overhead allocation. I think we need to consider the number of batches for Product B.

I remember we practiced calculating overhead costs using activity-based costing, but I'm not sure how to apply it to the batch production here.

This seems doable, but I want to double-check my work. I'll make sure to show all my calculations step-by-step to maximize my chances of getting full credit.

Okay, I think I've got a handle on this. I'll need to determine the total overhead costs, then divide by the budgeted production volume to get the overhead cost per unit.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about how to handle the batch-level costs for the machine setups and quality inspections. I'll need to make sure I calculate those correctly.

This looks like a pretty straightforward activity-based costing question. I'll need to identify the relevant cost drivers and allocate the overhead costs accordingly.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Does the question mean if OIDC is supported by Okta, or if it's supported by applications in the Okta network? I'll need to read this carefully.

Okay, let's see... 7,500 units, 250 per batch, and quality checks every third batch. Sounds like a job for a spreadsheet and some careful calculations!
