Puget World, Incorporated, manufactures two models of television sets, the N 800 XL model and the N 500 model. Data regarding the two products follow:

	Direct Labor- Hours per Unit	Annual Production	Total Direct Labor-Hours
Model N 800 XL	3.0	2,500	units	7,500
Model N 500	1.0	11,000	units	11,000
				18,500

Additional information about the company follows:

a. Model N 800 XL requires $75 in direct materials per unit, and Model N 500 requires $25.

b. The direct labor wage rate is $15 per hour.

c. The company has always used direct labor-hours as the base for applying manufacturing overhead cost to products.

d. Model N 800 XL is more complex to manufacture than Model N 500 and requires the use of special equipment. Consequently, the company is considering the use of activity-based costing to assign manufacturing overhead cost to products. Three activity cost pools have been identified as follows:

Activity Cost Pool	Activity Measure	Estimated Overhead Cost
Machine setups	Number of setups	$ 380,000
Special processing	Machine-hours	175,000
General factory	Direct labor-hours	925,000
		$ 1,480,000

Activity Measure	Expected Activity
Model N 800 XL	Model N 500	Total
Number of setups	160	220	380
Machine-hours	17,500	0	17,500
Direct labor-hours	7,500	11,000	18,500

2. Assume that the company decides to use activity-based costing to assign manufacturing overhead cost to products.

a(1). Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool.

a(2). Determine the amount of overhead cost that would be assigned to each model using the activity-based costing system.

b. Compute the unit product cost of each model.

Assume that the company decides to use activity-based costing to assign manufacturing overhead cost to products. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Machine setup		per setup
Special processing		per MH
General factory		per DLH

Assume that the company decides to use activity-based costing to assign manufacturing overhead cost to products. Determine the amount of overhead cost that would be assigned to each model using the activity-based costing system. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

	Model N 800 XL	Model N 500
Overhead cost per unit

Assume that the company decides to use activity-based costing to assign manufacturing overhead cost to products. Compute the unit product cost of each model. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)
