Exercise 9-43 (Algo) Activity-Based versus Traditional Costing (LO 9-4, 5, 6) Maglie Company manufactures two video game consoles: handheld and home. The handheld consoles are smaller and less expensive than the home consoles. The company only recently began producing the home model. Since the introduction of the new product, profits have been steadily declining. Management believes that the accounting system is not accurately allocating costs to products, particularly because sales of the new product have been increasing. Management has asked you to investigate the cost allocation problem. You find that manufacturing overhead is currently assigned to products based on their direct labor costs. For your investigation, you have data from last year. Manufacturing overhead was $1,146,000 based on production of 290,000 handheld consoles and 96,000 home consoles. Direct labor and direct materials costs were as follows. Direct labor Materials Handheld $1,055,500 730,000 Home $377,000 703,000 Total $1,432,500 1,433,000 Management has determined that overhead costs are caused by three cost drivers. These drivers and their costs for last year are as follows. Cost Driver Number of production runs Quality tests performed Shipping orders processed Total overhead Costs igned $ 480,000 510,000 156,000 $1,146,000 Activity Level Handheld Home 35 5 13 17 80 50 Total 40 30 130 Required: a. How much overhead will be assigned to each product if these three cost drivers are used to allocate overhead? What is the total cost per unit produced for each product? b. How much overhead will be assigned to each product if direct labor cost is used to allocate overhead? What is the total cost per unit produced for each product
