Elkhart Industries designs and manufactures custom dining room furniture. The company prices the furniture at 25% over estimated cost (excluding administrative and selling costs). Devon Stryker, the owner of the company, has noted that its product mix is changing from large orders of tables that are relatively easy to produce because customers are claiming that the companys prices are not competitive. The company has been receiving smaller orders for more complex furniture items, like hutches and arm chairs. Customers are more than willing to pay the prices for these more specialized pieces of furniture. This situation was discussed in a weekly management meeting. The plant manager blamed the companys current cost accounting system indicating that it doesnt capture appropriate information to use to set product prices. He indicated he had been researching costing systems and felt that activity- based costing would provide more reliable data for setting prices. The company contacted their local university and they were able to provide a couple of graduate students with undergraduate accounting majors to assist in accumulating information that could be used to implement activity-based costing. The students captured the following information related to production activities in 2021:

Compute the total cost of manufacturing one dining room table and one dining room hutch using the proposed activity-based costing system.

Cost Pools	Annual Cost	Cost Driver	Annual Driver Value
Product design	$ 800,000	Design hours	16,000
Material ordering and handling	1,000,000	Unique materials	12,500
Inspection	350,000	Inspections	56,000
Setup	250,000	Setups	8,000
Labor-related overhead	800,000	Direct labor Dollars	$1,000,000
Depreciation of plant and equipment	1,800,000	Machine hours	22,500
	$5.000,000

In the current system, overhead is applied based on direct labor cost.

The students also captured information about two different orders that were produced in 2021. The first was an order of 90 large dining room tables and the second was an order for one dining room hutch. The following table captures the direct material and direct labor cost along with the units of cost drivers that would have been incurred under activity-based costing:

Dining Room Hutch
Direct materials	$ 750
Direct labor	200
Cost Drivers for 1 hutch
Number of design hours	15
Number of unique materials	15
Number of inspections	3
Number of setups	1
Machine hours	5

Dining Room Tables
Direct materials per table	$ 250
Direct labor per table	150
Cost Drivers for 90 tables
Number of design hours	10
Number of unique materials	5
Number of inspections	90
Number of setups	1
