How much of the overhead will be assigned to each product

Reference no: EM13484402

Doaktown Products manufactures fishing equipment for recreational uses. The Miramichi plant produces the company's two versions of a special reel used for river fishing. The two models are the M-008, a basic reel, and the M-123, a new and improved version. Cost accountants at company headquarters have prepared costs for the two reels for the most recent period. The plant manager is concerned. The cost report does not coincide with her intuition about the relative costs of the two models. She has asked you to review the cost accounting and help her prepare a response to headquarters.

Manufacturing overhead is currently assigned to products based on their direct labor costs. For the most recent month, manufacturing overhead was $302,400. During that time, the company produced 12,900 units of the M-008 and 2,400 units of the M-123. The direct costs of production were as follows:

	M-008		M-123		Total
Direct materials	$	103,200	$	96,000	$	199,200
Direct labor		103,200		48,000		151,200

Management determined that overhead costs are caused by three cost drivers. These drivers and their costs for last year were as follows:

			Activity Level
Cost Driver		Costs		M-008	M-123	Total
Number of machine-hours	$	128,900		4,500	3,300	7,800
Number of production runs		75,000		20	15	35
Number of inspections		98,500		20	45	65

Total overhead	$	302,400

Requirement 1:
(a)	How much overhead will be assigned to each product if these three cost drivers are used to allocate overhead? (The total of overhead allocated to each department may not be equal to total of overhead assigned to jobs. The minor difference is due to rounding.)

(b)	What is the total cost per unit produced for each product?

Requirement 2:
(a)	How much of the overhead will be assigned to each product if direct labor cost is used to allocate overhead?

(b)	What is the total cost per unit produced for each product?
