Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer

Per unit Indirect cost

For Lo-Gain: $376

For Hi-Gain: $182.22

1Calculation of predetermined overhead rate

Predetermined overhead rate for setup cost =total setup costtotal number of setups                                                                                   =$58,00080                                                                                   =$725

predetermined overhead rate for machine maintenance cost = total machine maintenance costtitalnumber of machine hour                                                                                                                  =$30,0005000                                                                                                                  =$6

2Calculation of per unit indirect cost for Lo-Gain

setup cost for Lo-Gain=predetermined rate for setup×No.of setups required for Lo-Gain                                            =$725×40                                            =$29,000

machine maintenance cost for Lo-Gain=predetermined rate for setup×No.of setups required for Lo-Gain                                                                            =$6×3000                                                                            =$18,000
total indirect  cost for Lo-Gain= setup cost +machine maintenance cost                                                            =$29,000+ $18,000                                                            =$47,000

Per unit indirect cost for Lo-Gain =total indirect costnumber of units produced                                                                 =$47,000125                                                                 =$376

3Calculation of per unit indirect cost for Hi-Gain

setup cost for Hi-Gain=predetermined rate for setup×No.of setups required for Hi-Gain                                            =$725×40                                            =$29,000

machine maintenance cost for Hi-Gain=predetermined rate for setup×No.of setups required                                                                             =$6×2000                                                                            =$12,000

total indirect  cost for Hi-Gain= setup cost +machine maintenance cost                                                            =$29,000+ $12,000                                                            =$41,000
