FireOut, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) a commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-litre cylinder that holds 2.50 kilograms of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI (pounds per square inch). The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-litre cylinder that holds 10 kilograms of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.50 hours of direct labour for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labour hours are 96,300 or (1.50 hrs. (54,000 + 10,200)]. Expected annual manufacturing overhead is $1,502,280. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $15.60 or ($1,502,280 = 96,300) per direct labour hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.42 for the home model and $27.16 for the commercial model. The direct labour cost is $18.20 per unit for both the home and the commercial models. The company's managers identified six activity cost pools and related cost drivers, and accumulated overhead by cost pool as follows: Activity Cost Pools Cost Drivers Receiving Kilograms Forming Machine hours Assembling Number of parts Testing Number of tests Painting Litres Packing and shipping Kilograms Estimated Expected Use Expected Use Overhead of Cost Drivers of Drivers by Product Home Commercial $70,560 339,400 217,000 122,400 152,800 35,200 27,000 8,200 393,400 219,800 167,000 52,800 52,900 26,800 16,400 10,400 53,720 5,700 4,100 1,600 778,900 339,400 217,000 122,400 $1,502,280 Under traditional product costing, calculate the total unit cost of each product.
