Q. 19-8SE

Question

Spectrum Corp. makes two products: C and D. The following data have been summarized:

                                                                         Product C                      Product D

Direct materials cost per unit                           \( 600                            \) 2,400

Direct labor cost per unit                                     300                                  200

Indirect manufacturing cost per unit                    ?                                      ?

 

Indirect manufacturing cost information includes the following:

 

Activity                           Predetermined

                                            Overhead

                                        Allocation Rate                Product C                  Product D

Setup                             \( 1,500 per setup               35 setups                 76 setups

Machine maintenance  \) 10 per MHr                       1,500 MHr                3,700 MHr

 

The company plans to manufacture 250 units of each product. Calculate the product cost per unit for Products C and D using activity-based costing.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

Per unit indirect cost 

For Product C: $300.4

For Product D: $604

1Per unit product cost for Product C

setup cost =predetermined overhead allocation rate ×No.of setups                     =$1,500×36                    =$52,500

machine maintenance cost =predetermined overhead allocation rate ×No.of machine hour                                                    =$10×1,500                                                    =$15,000

total indirect  cost = setup cost +machine maintenance cost                                   =$50,400+$24,700                                   =$75,100

Per unit indirect cost  =total indirect costnumber of products manufactured                                         =$75,100250                                          =$300.4

2Per unit product cost for Product D

setup cost =predetermined overhead allocation rate ×No.of setups                     =$1,500×76                    =$1,14,000

machine maintenance cost =predetermined overhead allocation rate ×No.of machine hour                                                    =$10×3,700                                                    =$37,000

total indirect  cost = setup cost +machine maintenance cost                                   =$1,14,000+$37,000                                   =$1,51,000

Per unit indirect cost  =total indirect costnumber of products manufactured                                         =$1,51,000250                                          =$604
