[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

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 7,000 units 21,000
Model N 500 1.0 12,000 units 12,000
33,000

Additional information about the company follows:

a. Model N 800 XL requires $65 in direct materials per unit, and Model N 500 requires $25.

b. The direct labor wage rate is $23 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 $ 470,000
Special processing Machine-hours 190,000
General factory Direct labor-hours 1,782,000
$ 2,442,000

Activity Measure Expected Activity
Model N 800 XL Model N 500 Total
Number of setups 200 300 500
Machine-hours 20,000 0 20,000
Direct labor-hours 21,000 12,000 33,000

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.

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

Model N 800 XL Model N 500
Overhead cost per unit

Model N 800 XL Model N 500
