Precision Manufacturing Inc. (PMI) makes two types of industrial component partsthe EX300 and the TX500. It annually produces 50,000 units of EX300 and 11,500 units of TX500. The companys conventional cost system allocates manufacturing overhead to products using a plantwide overhead rate and direct labor dollars as the allocation base. Additional information relating to the companys two product lines is shown below:

	EX300			TX500			Total
Direct materials	$	356,325		$	152,550		$	508,875
Direct labor	$	110,000		$	37,500		$	147,500

The company is considering implementing an activity-based costing system that distributes all of its manufacturing overhead to four activities as shown below:

				Activity
Activity Cost Pool (and Activity Measure)	Manufacturing Overhead			EX300			TX500			Total
Machining (machine-hours)	$	144,375			80,000			57,500			137,500
Setups (setup hours)		67,500			25			200			225
Product-level (number of products)		75,750			1			1			2
General factory (direct labor dollars)		36,875		$	110,000		$	37,500		$	147,500
Total manufacturing overhead cost	$	324,500

Required:

1-a. Compute the plantwide overhead rate that would be used in the companys conventional cost system.

Predetermined overhead rate

per DL$

1-b. Using the plantwide rate, compute the unit product cost for each product.

2-a. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool.

Activity Cost Pools	Activity Rate
Machining		per MHR
Setups		per setup hr.
Product-level		per product
General factory		per DL$

2-b. Using the activity rates, compute the unit product cost for each product.
