Tableau DA 4-3: Mini-Case, Computing and assigning costs using ABC LO P3 Chrom Co. manufactures two models, the XL and RD. It also has two departments, assembly and finishing. The company wants to assign overhead costs to its two different models to better understand the profitability of each model. The Tableau Dashboard provides data for our analysis.

The costs are presented in two different ways here. 2. The company's XL model requires 2 direct labor hours and 1 machine hour. The RD model requires 3 direct labor hours and 3 machine hours. (a) Compute the overhead cost per unit of each model using ABC. (b) Alternatively, compute the overhead cost per unit of each model using a single plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours. 3. The company gives a bonus to production managers based on their ability to lower the cost of their assigned model. a. Which overhead cost allocation method would the XL production manager prefer? b.
