Siegel Corporation manufactures a product available in both a deluxe and a regular model. The company has made the regular model for years, the deluxe model was introduced several years ago to capture a new segment of the market. Since the introduction of the deluxe model, the company's profits have steadily declined, and management has become concerned about the accuracy of its costing system. Sales of the deluxe model have been increasing rapidly. Overhead is applied to products on the basis of direct labour-hours. At the beginning of the current year, management estimated that $1,322,000 in overhead costs would be incurred and the company would produce and sell 5,000 units of the deluxe model and 64.000 units of the regular model. The deluxe model requires 2.0 hours of direct labour time per unit, and the regular model requires 1.2 hours. Materials and labour costs follow: Direct materials cost per unit Deluxe $100 20 Regulac 500 12 Direct labour cost per hour Required: 1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate using direct labour-hours as the basis for allocating overhead costs to products Compute the unit product cost for one unit of each model. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Predetermined overhead rate per DLH Unit product cost of Deluxe Unit product cost of Regular acticate this idea. 2. An intern suggested that the company use activity-based costing to cost its products. A team was formed to investigate this idea. and it came back with the recommendation that four activity cost pools be used. These cost pools and their associated activities follow: Estimated Overhead Cost Activity Deluxe Regular Activity Cost Pool and Activity Measure Purchase orders (number of orders) Rework requests (number of requests) Product testing (number of tests) Machine related (machine-hours) $ 102,000 600 200 Total 1,700 1,100. 120,000 400 600 350,000 5,000 12,500 17,500 750,000 10,000 28,000 30,000 $1,322,000 Compute the activity rate (ie, predetermined overhead rate) for each of the activity cost pools. Activity Cost Pool Activity Rate Purchase orders per order Rework requests per request Product testing per test Machine related per MH 3. Assume that actual activity is as expected for the year. Using activity-based costing, do the following: a. Determine the total amount of overhead that would be applied to each model for the year. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.) Deluxe Regular Total overhead cost b. Compute the unit product cost for one unit of each model. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Deluxe Regular Unit product cost A This part of the question is not part of your Connect assignment
