[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Cary Company manufactures two models of industrial componentsa Standard model and an Advanced Model. It has provided the following information with respect to these two products:
Standard | Advanced | |||||
Number of units produced and sold | 20,000 | 10,000 | ||||
Selling price per unit | $ | 150 | $ | 200 | ||
Direct materials per unit | $ | 40 | $ | 60 | ||
Direct labor cost per unit | $ | 30 | $ | 30 | ||
Direct labor-hours per unit | 1.50 | 1.50 | ||||
The company considers all of its manufacturing overhead costs ($1,346,250) to be fixed and it uses plantwide manufacturing overhead cost allocation based on direct labor-hours. Click here to download the Excel template, which you will use to answer the questions that follow.

Excel Analytics 07-1 (Static) Part 1
Required: 1. Go to the tab titled Plantwide Approach:
a. Create a formula that calculates the direct labor-hours in the denominator of the plantwide overhead rate (cell F3). Also, create a formula that calculates the plantwide overhead rate (cell F4). What formulas correctly calculate these two amounts?
b. What is the plantwide overhead rate?
c. Create the appropriate formulas (within cells B11 through D17) to compute the gross margins for the Standard and Advanced models as well as the company as a whole. What formulas correctly calculate the direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead for the Standard model?
d. What are the gross margins for the Standard model (cell B17) and the Advanced model (cell C17)?
e. Using Charts, create a pie chart that shows the percent of total manufacturing overhead cost allocated to each product using the plantwide approach. (Your instructor may require you to upload this file in Part 6).
f. What percent of the total manufacturing overhead cost is allocated to the Standard model using the plantwide approach? The Advanced model? Carys production manager has suggested replacing the companys current cost system with an activity-based costing system that assigns all of the companys manufacturing overhead costs to four activity cost pools as follows (the company does not have any organization-sustaining costs or unused capacity costs):
Activity Measure | Activity Measure | Manufacturing Overhead | ||
Assemble and pack | Direct labor hours | $ | 292,500 | |
Machining | Machine-hours | 440,000 | ||
Order processing | Number of customer orders | 256,250 | ||
Setups | Setup hours | 357,500 | ||
$ | 1,346,250 | |||
The production manager also provided the following additional information with respect to the companys two products:
Standard | Advanced | ||
Machine-hours per unit | 1.0 | 2.0 | |
Average customer order size (in units) | 400 | 50 | |
Number of setups per customer order | 1 | 1 | |
Number of setup hours per setup | 1 | 3 | |
Reg 1A Reg 1B Reg 10 Req 1D Reg 1F Create a formula that calculates the direct labor-hours in the denominator of the plantwide overhead rate (cell F3). Also, create a formula that calculates the plantwide overhead rate (cell F4). What formulas correctly calculate these two amounts? Direct labor-hours =(B3*B7)+(C3*C7) =(B3*B7)-(C3*C7) =(B3*B7(C3*C7) =(B3/B7)*(C3/07) Plantwide overhead rate =F2/F3 =F2*F3 =F2+F3 =F2-F3 Reg 1A Reg 1B Reg 10 Req 1D Reg 1F What is the plantwide overhead rate? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

What formulas correctly calculate the direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead for the Standard model? Direct materials =B3+B5 =B3-B5 =B3*B5 =B3/B5 Direct labor =B3+B6 =B3-B6 =B3*B6 =B3/B6 Manufacturing overhead =B3+B7*F4 =B3-B7*F4 =B3*B7*F4 =B3/B7*F4 Reg 1A Reg 1B Reg 10 Req 1D Req 1F What are the gross margins for the Standard model (cell B17) and the Advanced model (cell C17)?
