Ellix Company manufactures two models of ultra-high fidelity speakers-the X200 model and the X99 model. Data regarding the two products follow: Product x200 X99 Direct Labor-Hours 0.2 DLHS per unit Annual Production 21,000 units Total Direct Labor-Hours 0.4 DLHS per unit 49,000 units 4,200 DLHS 19,600 DLHS 23,800 DLHS Additional information about the company follows: a. Model X200 requires $39 in direct materials per unit, and model X99 requires $26. b. The direct labor workers are paid $40 per hour. c. The company has always used direct labor-hours as the allocation base for applying manufacturing overhead cost to products. d. Model X200 is more complex to manufacture than model X99 and requires the use of special equipment. e. Because of the special work required in (d) above, the company is considering the use of activity-based absorption costing to apply manufacturing overhead cost to products. Three activity cost pools have been identified as follows: Estimated Total Activity 374,400 714,000 x200 108 1,040 X99 Total 162 270 0 1,040 4,200 19,600 23,800 $1,277,400 Activity Cost Pool Machine setups Special processing General factory Activity Measure Number of setupa Machine-hours Direct labor-hours Estimated Total Cost $ 189,000 Required: 1. Assume that the company continues to use direct labor-hours as the allocation base for applying overhead cost to products. a. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate. b. Compute the unit product cost of each model. 2. Assume that the company decides to use activity-based absorption costing to apply overhead cost to products. a. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool and determine the amount of overhead cost that would be applied to each model using the activity-based approach. b. Compute the unit product cost of each model. Ellix Company manufactures two models of ultra-high fidelity speakers-the X200 model and the X99 model.
