Barr Company makes steel and titanium handle bars for bicycles. It requires approximately 1 hour of labor to make one handle bar of either type. During the most recent accounting period, Barr Company made 6,900 steel bars and 3,100 titanium bars. Setup costs amounted to $43,000. One batch of each type of bar was run each month. If a single company-wide overhead rate based on direct labor hours is used to allocate overhead costs to the two products, the amount of setup cost assigned to the steel bars will be:

$4,300.

$29,670.

$13,330.

$43,000.

Scott Tools produces a variety of scissors and other cutting instruments at its Statesboro manufacturing plant. The plant is highly automated and uses an activity-based costing system to allocate overhead costs to its various product lines. The company expects to produce 31,000 total units during the current period. The costs and cost drivers associated with four activity cost pools are given below:

ACTIVITIES: UNIT BATCH PRODUCT FACILITY
LEVEL LEVEL LEVEL LEVEL
Cost $75,000 ? $24,000 $279,000
Cost Driver 5,000 labor hrs 140 set ups % of use 31,000 units

Production of 2,000 units of a pipe-cutting tool required 500 labor hours, 17 setups, and consumed 30 % of the product sustaining activities and resulted in an overhead allocation of $35,420. What amount of batch-level overhead costs was expected during the period? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

$2,720

$22,400

$32,700

Great Products Company currently outsources a relay switch that is a component in one of its products. The switches cost $33 each. The company is considering making the switches internally at the following projected annual production costs:

Unit-level material cost $8
Unit-level labor cost $7
Unit-level overhead $6
Batch-level set-up cost (9,000 units per batch) $40,000
Product-level supervisory salaries $45,000
Allocated facility-level costs $35,000

The company expects an annual need for 9,000 switches. If the company makes the product, it will have to utilize factory space currently being leased to another company for $3,000 a month. If the company decides to make the parts, total costs will be:

$48,000 more than if the switches are purchased.

$35,000 less than if the switches are purchased.

$13,000 more than if the switches are purchased.

$32,000 less than if the switches are purchased.

Serious Safety Products currently outsources an electrical switch that is a component in its sprinkler systems. The switches are purchased for $26 each. The company is considering making the switches internally and has conducted a study to determine the costs involved. The costs below are projected annual production costs:

Unit-level material cost $7

Unit-level overhead $5
Batch-level cost (9,000 units per batch) $9,000
Product-level supervisory salaries $39,500
Allocated facility-level costs $24,000

Assume that the company needs 18,000 of the switches, which would be produced in three batches. Assume also that the company will still be operating within the relevant range. If Serious Safety decides to make the parts under these conditions, the total relevant costs will be:
