Question

Jaunkas Corp. manufactures mid-fi and hi-fi stereo receivers. The following data have been summarized:

                                                                    Mid-Fi                      Hi-Fi

Direct materials cost per unit                  \( 400                     \) 1,800

Direct labor cost per unit                            600                           400

Indirect manufacturing cost per unit           ?                               ?

 

Indirect manufacturing cost information includes the following:

 

Activity

Predetermined

Overhead

Allocation Rate

Mid-Fi

Hi-Fi

Setup

\(     1,400 per setup

36 setups

36 setups

Inspection

\)     700 per inspection hour

35 inspection hours

20 inspection hours

Machine maintenance

$ 13 per machine hour

1,900 machine hours

1,150 machine hours

 

The company plans to manufacture 125 units of the mid-fi receivers and 250 units of the hi-fi receivers. Calculate the product cost per unit for both products using activity-based costing.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

Per unit indirect cost

For Mid-Fi: $796.8

For Hi-Fi: $317.4

1Per unit product cost for Mid-Fi

setup cost =predetermined overhead allocation rate ×No.of setups                     =$1,400×36                    =$50,400
