Question

Northwest Company produces two types of glass shelving: rounded edge and squared edge. The company reports the following cost data.
 

  Rounded Edge Squared Edge Total
Direct materials $ 31,200 $ 43,200 $ 74,400
Direct labor 10,400 28,800 39,200
Overhead (using plantwide rate) 37,800 73,400 111,200
Total product cost $ 79,400 $ 145,400 $ 224,800
Units produced 10,400 14,400  
Product cost per unit $ 7.63 $ 10.10  

 

Northwest’s controller wants to apply activity-based costing to allocate the $111,200 of overhead cost to the two products to see whether product cost per unit would change markedly from that above. The company’s budgeted activity usage equals its actual activity usage for the period. The following additional information is collected.

 

Activity Budgeted Cost Activity Cost Driver Activity Usage
Rounded Edge Squared Edge Total
Purchasing $ 5,600 Purchase orders 119 orders 441 orders 560 orders
Depreciation of machinery 58,200 Machine hours 500 hours 1,500 hours 2,000 hours
Setup 47,400 Setups 40 setups 210 setups 250 setups
Total $ 111,200              


Required:
1. Compute the activity rate for each activity using activity-based costing.
2. Compute overhead cost per unit for each of the two products using activity-based costing.
3. Determine product cost per unit for each of the two products using activity-based costing.

Compute overhead cost per unit for each of the two products using activity-based costing. (Round "Activity Rate" to 2 decimal
