1 The overhead allocation rate used in the 1987 model year strategy was 435% of direct labor dollars. Calculate the overhead allocation rate using the 1987 model year budget. Why do you get different numbers?

2 Calculate the overhead allocation rate for each of the model years 1988 through 1990. Are the changes since 1987 in overhead allocation rates significant? Why have these changes occurred?

3 Consider product 1 Product 2

Selling Price $62 $54

Standard Material Cost $16 $27

Standard Labor Cost $ 6 $3

Calculate the expected gross margins as a percentage of selling price on each product based on the 1988 and 1990 model year budgets, assuming selling price and material and labor cost do not change from standard.

4 Are the product costs reported by the cost system appropriate for use in the strategic analysis? What decision are you trying to make in the strategic analysis?

Please explain how you got your answers
