Wilmington Office Equipment Corporation manufactures two types of filing cabinetsDeluxe and Executiveand applies manufacturing overhead to all units at the rate of $144.00 per machine hour. Production information follows.
Deluxe | Executive | |||||
Direct-material cost | $ | 40 | $ | 60 | ||
Direct-labor cost | 45 | 45 | ||||
Budgeted volume (units) | 28,800 | 54,000 | ||||
|
The controller, who is studying the use of activity-based costing, has determined that the firms overhead can be identified with three activities: manufacturing setups, machine processing, and product shipping. Data on the number of setups, machine hours, and outgoing shipments, which are the activities three respective cost drivers, follow. |
Deluxe | Executive | Total | |||||||
Setups | 164 | 124 | 288 | ||||||
Machine hours | 57,600 | 81,000 | 138,600 | ||||||
Outgoing shipments | 200 | 150 | 350 | ||||||
|
The firms total overhead of $19,958,400 is subdivided as follows: manufacturing setups, $4,354,560; machine processing, $11,975,040; and product shipping, $3,628,800. |
Required: |
1. | Compute the unit manufacturing cost of Deluxe and Executive filing cabinets by using the companys current overhead costing procedures. |
