Trombly Travel Products (TTP) manufactures and sells travel bags and accessories. TTP produces backpacks at its West Street plant. The different backpack models are identified by the primary material used: canvas, nylon, or leather. The company uses a plantwide rate based on direct labor-hours. The plantwide rate is $5.00 per labor-hour. All direct labor at TTP is paid $44 per hour. Canvas and nylon backpacks are produced in Department 1. Leather backpacks are produced in Department 2. The product costs (per backpack) follow.

	Canvas	Nylon	Leather
Direct materials	$ 39.00	$ 44.00	$ 54.00
Direct labor	149.60	171.60	180.40

Required:

A. Compute the total unit cost of each backpack model using the plantwide allocation method.

B. The machines in Department 1 are older and almost fully depreciated. The equipment in Department 2 was recently updated and the process in Department 2 is more highly automated. At the request of the manager of Department 1, a cost analyst at TTP provided the following information on overhead costs, machine-hours and direct labor-hours for the two departments.

	Department 1	Department 2
Overhead	$ 101,120	$ 118,680
Machine-hours	18,800	27,600
Labor-hours	25,600	13,800

Using labor-hours as the department allocation base for Department 1 and machine-hours as the department allocation base for Department 2, compute the allocation rate for each.

C. Compute the unit cost of each model of backpack using the department allocation rates computed in requirement (b) (labor-hours in Department 1 and machine-hours in Department 2).
