Kunkel Company makes two products and uses a conventional costing system in which a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate is computed based on direct labor-hours. Data for the two products for the upcoming year follow:

                                                             Mercon                         Wurcon

Direct materials cost per unit            $8.00                         $5.00

Direct labor cost per unit                  $7.00                        $9.00

Direct labor-hours per unit                   0.20                          1.80

Number of units produced                      10,000                   20,000

  • These products are customized to some degree for specific customers.

Required:

Question 1. The company's manufacturing overhead costs for the year are expected to be $1,140,000. Using the company's conventional costing system, compute the unit product costs for the two products.

Question 2. Management is considering an activity-based costing system in which half of the overhead would continue to be allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours and half would be allocated on the basis of engineering design time. This time is expected to be distributed as follows during the upcoming year:

                                                             Mercon                Wurcon             Total

Engineering design time (in hours)         5,000            5,000             10,000
