Goodwin Co. manufactures two products: R and W. The company uses activity-based costing to apply manufacturing overhead costs to products. The cost pools and related estimated overhead costs for 20x3 are as follows:
Activity Cost Pool |
Activity measure |
Overhead cost |
Assembly |
Number of direct labour hours |
$35194 |
Inspection |
Number of inspections |
159307 |
Product support |
# of engineers |
252107 |
The expected activity measures for the manufacturing of product R
in 20x3 are: 141 direct labour hours, 4901 inspections, and 2
engineer(s). The expected activity measures for the manufacturing
of product W in 20x3 are: 520 direct labour hours, 7295
inspections, and 3 engineers.
If the company estimates that it will produce 11849 units of product R in 20x3, what is the manufacturing overhead per unit that would be applied to product R for the year?
Select one:
a. $14.55
b. $23.14
c. $8.04
d. $37.69
Correct option is "A" - 14.55
Activity | Total budgeted cost | / | Total activity | = | Activity rate | overhead cost allocated to product R (# of Activity *activity rate) |
Assemby | 35194 | 141+520=661 | 53.24357 per DLH | 141*53.24357=7507.34 | ||
Inspection | 159307 | 4901+7295=12196 | 13.06223 PER INSPECTION | 13.06223*4901=64017.99 | ||
Product support | 252107 | 2+3=5 | 50421.4 per engineer | 50421.4*2=100842.8 | ||
Total overhead allocated to product R | 172368.13 | |||||
Number of units | 11849 | |||||
manufacturing overhead rate per unit | 172368.13/11849 =$ 14.55 |
