Exercise 15.9 (Algorithmic) Value-Stream Average Costing, ABC Costs as Benchmarks

A value stream has three activities and two products. The units produced and shipped per week are 50 of the deluxe model (Model A) and 150 of the basic model (Model B). The resource consumption patterns are shown as follows:

	Model A		Model B		Costs of Value- Stream Activities
Cell manufacturing	2,355	min.	7,065	min.	$	65,940
Engineering	65	hrs.	208	hrs.		23,751
Testing	100	hrs.	300	hrs.		29,600
Total					$	119,291

Required:

1. Calculate the ABC product cost for Models A and B. If required, round your answers to the nearest cent.

	Product Cost Per Unit
Model A	$ per unit
Model B	$ per unit

2. Calculate the value-stream average product cost. If required, round your answer to the nearest cent. $ per unit

Assuming reasonable stability in the consumption patterns of the products and product mix, assess how well the products are grouped based on similarity.
