Almonds R Us (ARU) processes and sells almonds. ARU buys almonds from California and roasts, seasons, and packages them for resale. Currently the rm offers 2 different types of almonds to gourmet shops in one-pound bags. The major cost is direct materials; however, a substantial amount of factory overhead is incurred in the predominantly automated roasting and packing process. ARU prices its nuts at full product cost, including allocated overhead, plus a markup of 30%. Data for the current budget include factory overhead of $3,110,000, which has been allocated by its current costing system on the basis of each product's direct labor cost. The budgeted direct labor cost for the current year totals $600,000. The rm budgeted $6,000,000 for purchases and use of direct materials (mostly raw almonds).

Using ARU's current product costing system, 1. Determine the company's predetermined overhead rate using direct labor cost as the single cost driver. 2. Determine the full product costs and selling prices of one pound of Salted almonds and one pound of Sugar Roasted almonds. 2. Using an activity-based costing approach, develop a new product cost for one pound of Salted almonds and one pound of Sugar Roasted almonds. Allocate all overhead costs to the 100,000 pounds of Salted and the 2,000 pounds of Sugar Roasted
