Point 1: Peter's Printers has contracts to complete weekly supplements required by forty-six customers. For the year 2019, manufacturing overhead cost estimates total $420,000 for an annual production capacity of 12 million pages.
For 2019, Peter's Printers has decided to evaluate the use of additional cost pools. After analyzing manufacturing overhead costs, it was determined that number of design changes, setups, and inspections are the primary manufacturing overhead cost drivers.
The following information was gathered during the analysis:
Cost pool Manufacturing overhead costs Activity level
Design changes $60,000 300 design changes
Setups 320,000 5,000 setups
Inspections 40,000 8,000 inspection
Total manufacturing overhead costs $420,000
During 2019, two customers, World Makers and Happy Studios, are expected to use the following printing services:
Activity World Makers Happy Studios
Pages 60,000 76,000
Design changes 10 0
Setups 20 10
Inspections 30 38
