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 $316,800. During that time, the company produced 14,300 units of the M-008 and 2,200 units of the M-123. The direct costs of production were as follows:

M-008M-123Total

Direct materials$114,400$88,000$202,400

Direct labor 114,400 44,000 158,400

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$149,800 8,000 2,000 10,000

Number of production runs 70,000 20 20 40

Number of inspections 97,000 25 40 65

Total overhead$316,800

Required:

a. How much overhead will be assigned to each product if these three cost drivers are used to allocate overhead? What is the total cost per unit produced for each product? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

b. How much of the overhead will be assigned to each product if direct labor cost is used to allocate overhead? What is the total cost per unit produced for each product? (Round "Total unit cost" to 2 decimal places.)
