P18-1B VideoPlus, Inc. manufactures two types of DVD players, a deluxe model and a standard model. The deluxe model is a multi-format progressive-scan DVD player with networking capability, Dolby digital, and DTS decoder. The standard model's primary feature is progressive-scan. Annual production is 50,000 units for the deluxe and 20,000 units for the standarod Both products require 2 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor Expected annual manufacturing overhead is $1,050,000. Thus, the predetermined hours are overhead rate is S7.50 ( 1,050,000 140,000) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $42 for the deluxe model and S11 for the standard model. The direct labor cost is $18 per unit for both the deluxe and the standard models The company's managers identified six activity cost pools and related cost drivers and accumulated overhead by cost pool as follows Expected Use of Drivers by Product Activity Cost Expected Use of Cost Drivers Estimated Overhead OS Deluxe 300 16,000 54,000 Standard 100 4,000 20,000 Pool Driver Orders Pounds Number of Purchasing Receiving Assembling S 126,000 30,000 444,000 400 20,000 74,000 parts Testing Number of 115,000 23,000 10,000 13,000 tests Units Pounds 20,000 Finishing Packing and shipping 140,000 70,000 50,000 195,000 80,000 18,000 62,000 $1,050,000 Instructions (a) Under traditional product costing, compute the total unit cost of both products. Prepare a simple comparative schedule of the individual costs by product (similar to ustration 18-10) (b) Under ABC, prepare a schedule showing the computations of the activity-based overhead rates (per cost driver). (c) Prepare a schedule assigning each activity's overhead cost pool to each product based on the use of cost drivers. (Include a computation of overhead cost per unit, rounding to the nearest cent.) (d) Compute the total cost per unit for each product under ABC. (e) Classify each of the activities as a value-added activity or a non-value-added activity (f) Comment on (1) the comparative overhead cost per unit for the two products under ABC, and (2) the comparative total costs per unit under traditional costing and ABC
