The company operates a just-in-time inventory policy, and ach component once per production per run. In the past the company has allocated overheads to products on the basis of direct labor hours. However, the majority of overheads are more closely related to machine hours than direct labor hours. The company has recently redesigned its cost system by recovering overheads using two volume-related bases: machine hours and materials handling overhead rate for recovering overheads of the receiving department. Both the current and previous cost system reported low profit margins of the product J, which is company's highest-selling product. The management accountant has recently attended a conference on activity based costing, and the overheads cost for the last period have been analyzed by the major activities in order to compute activity based costs. From the above information you are required: (a) Compute the product costs using traditional volume related cost system based on assumption that: (1) All overheads are recovered on the basis of direct labor hours (i.e. the company's past product costing system); (2) The overheads of the receiving department are recovered by materials handling overhead rate and the remaining overheads are recovered using a machine hour rate (i.e. the company's current costing system).
