Question

 Stampout Plastics produces different kinds of products, all in one manufacturing facility. They have identified four activities for their costing system:

 

Materials management—allocated by number of purchase orders 

Chemical processing—allocated on metric tons

Molding—allocated on direct labor hours

Packaging—allocated by number of units produced

 

The activity rates are as follows:

 

Materials management            $12.00            Per purchase order

Chemical processing                  $7.50                     Per metric ton

Molding                                      $24.00         Per direct labor hour

Packaging                                     $0.10                                 Per unit

 

Engineering design shows that the order will require direct materials that cost $540; direct labor cost will be $90. The order will also require four purchase orders to be placed, use two metric tons of chemical base, and need eight direct labor hours. The size of the order is to produce 3,000 units of product. Calculate the total production of the order.
