Kingsport Containers Company makes a single product that is subject to wide seasonal variations in demand. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes plantwide predetermined overhead rates on a quarterly basis using the number of units to be produced as the allocation base. Its estimated costs, by quarter, for the coming year are given below: Management finds the variation in quarteily unit product costs to be confusing. It has been suggested that the problem lies with manufacturing overhead because it is the largest element of total manufacturing cost. Accordingly, you have been asked to find a more appropriate way of assigning manufacturing overhead cost to units of product. Required: 1. Assuming the estimated variable manufacturing overhead cost per unit is $0.60, what must be the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead cost per quarter? 2. Assuming the assumptions about cost behavior from the first three quarters hold constant, what is the estimated unit product cost for the fourth quarter? 3. What is causing the estimated unit product cost to fluctuate from one quarter to the next? 4. Assuming the company computes one predetermined overhead rate lor the year rather than computing quarterly overhead rates. calculate the unit product cost for all units produced during the yeat: Camplete this question by entering your answers in the tabs belew. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Assuming the assumptions about cost behavior from the first three quarters hold constant, what is the estimated unit product cost for the fourth quarter? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round the "Unit product cost" to 2 decimal places.) Assuming the estimated variable manufacturing overhead cost per unit is $0.60, what must be the estimated total fixed manulacturing overhead cost per quarter? What is causing the estimated unit product cost to fluctuate from one quarter to the next? The fixed portion of the manutacturing ovechead cost is causing the unit product costs to fluctuale The unit product cost increases as the level of broduction decreases bocause the fixed overhead is spread over fewer unts The tred portion of the magulacturing overhead cost is causing the unit product costs to fuctuale. The uait product cost docreases as the level of broduction decteases becouse the fixed overiead is spread over lowor units The variable porticn of the masufacturng overhesd cost is causing the unit product costs to fuctuate. The unst product cost increases as the level of bacducion deceases because the varable ovethead is spead over feser unis The variable portsen of the manutactuing cvethead cost is cousing the und product costs to fluctuate. The unit product cost decreases as the level of production decreases because the varable overhoad is spread over fewer unts. Assuming the company computes one predetermined overhead rate for the year rather than computing quarterly overhead rates, calculate the unit product cost for all units produced during the year. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places
