Mirrors per square metre 160 160

Softwood per square metre 125 125

Manufacturing labour cost per hour 30 30

Manufacturing overhead (both variable and fixed) is allocated to each cabinet on the basis of budgeted

direct manufacturing labour hours.

The budgeted variable manufacturing overhead rate for January 2020 is $35 per direct manufacturing

labour-hour.

The budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead for the month is $42,500. Both variable and fixed

manufacturing overhead costs are allocated to each unit of finished goods on the basis of direct

manufacturing labour-hours.

Budgeted sales for January 2020 are 740 units of the premium and 390 units of the De Luxe. The

budgeted selling prices per unit in January 2020 are $1,020 for the Premium and $1,600 for the De

Luxe.

For the purposes of calculating COGS and Closing Inventory of finished goods, cost per unit for

January 2020 is $670 for the Premium cabinet and $1,480 for the De Luxe cabinet.

Assume the following in your answer:

Work-in-process inventories are negligible and ignored.

Direct materials inventory and finished goods inventory are costed using the FIFO method.

Unit costs of direct materials purchased and finished goods are constant in January 2020.
