ABC Data Gross Profits Standard Deluxe Sales price Direct materials Direct labor Indirect manufacturing costs Gross profit per unit Eaton's managers will produce I units of the model to maximize income. Requirement 2. If the managers rely on the single plantwide overhead allocation rate cost data, which model will they produce? Use the single plantwide allocation rate cost data to compute the gross profit per unit for each model. (Round amounts to the nearest cent, $X.XX.) Single Allocation-Base Data Gross Profits Standard Deluxe Sales price Direct materials Direct labor Indirect manufacturing costs Gross profit per unit If they rely on the single plantwide allocation rate cost data, Eaton's managers will produce the model. It will appear to maximize income. Requirement 3. Which course of action will yield more income for Eaton? Eaton will earn more income by producing the model. data are generally more accurate than data. - - X I Data Table Data Table Indirect Manufacturing Cost Per Unit Standard Deluxe Standard Deluxe $ 930.00 $ 1,060.00 ABC costs $ 238.60 $ 309.60 Sales price Direct materials Direct labor 32.00 48.00 Single-rate costs $ 219.28 $ 328.92 48.00 55.00 Print Done Print Done
