Transcribed Image Text:Shady Fabrication Group (SFG) manufactures components for manufacturing equipment at several facilities. The company produces
two, related, parts at its Park River Plant, the models SF-08 and SF-48. The differences in the models are the quality of the materials
and the precision to which they are produced. The SF-48 model used in applications where the precision is critical and thus requires
greater oversight in the production process.
Although sales remain reasonably strong, managers at SFG have noticed that the company is meeting more resistance to the pricing
for SF-08, although there seems to be little need for negotiation on the price of the SF-48 model. As a result, the marketing manager
at SFG has asked the financial staff to review the costs of the two products to understand better what might be happening in the
market.
Manufacturing overhead is currently assigned to products based on their direct labor costs. For the most recent month manufacturing
overhead was $181,800. During that time, the company produced 8,080 units of Model SF-08 and 2,020 units of Model SF-48. The
direct costs of production were as follows:
Direct materials
Direct labor
Cost Driver
Direct material costs
Number of production runs
Number of inspections
Total overhead
SF-08
$ 161,600
121,200
Management determined that overhead costs are caused by three cost drivers. These drivers and their costs for last month were as
follows:
