Casting Technology Resources (CTR) has purchased 10,000 pumps annually from Kobec, Inc. Because the price keeps increasing and reached $68.00 per unit last year, CTRs management has asked for an estimate of the cost of manufacturing the pump in CTRs facilities. CTR makes stampings and castings and has little experience with products requiring assembly.

The engineering, manufacturing, and accounting departments have prepared a report for management that includes the following estimate for an assembly run of 10,000 pumps. Additional production employees would be hired to manufacture the pumps but no additional equipment, space, or supervision would be needed.

The report states that total costs for 10,000 units are estimated at $957,000, or $95.70 per unit. The current purchase price is $68.00 per unit, so the report recommends continued purchase of the product.

Components (outside purchases)	$	120,000
Assembly labor*		300,000
Manufacturing overhead		450,000
General and administrative overhead		87,000
Total costs	$	957,000

^*Assembly labor consists of hourly production workers.

Manufacturing overhead is applied to products on a direct-labor-dollar basis. Variable-overhead costs vary closely with direct-labor dollars.

Fixed overhead		50	%	of direct-labor dollars
Variable overhead		100	%	of direct-labor dollars
Manufacturing-overhead rate		150	%	of direct-labor dollars

General and administrative overhead is applied at 10 percent of the total cost of material (or components), assembly labor, and manufacturing overhead.

Required:

1-a. Was the analysis prepared by Casting Technology Resources engineering, manufacturing, and accounting departments correct?

1-b. Calculate the relevant cost per unit.
