Western Manufacturing Corporation manufactures various electronics products and follows a traditional (job-order) costing system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to its products using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labour-hours (DLHS). The company has two products, C18R and G19R, about which it has provided the following data: C18R G19R Direct materials per unit $10.20 $50.50 Direct labour per unit $8.40 $25.20 Direct labour hours per unit 0.40 1.20 Annual production 30,000 10,000 The company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $720,000 and the company's estimated total direct labour-hours for the year is 24,000. The company is considering using a variation of activity-based costing to determine its unit product costs for external reports. Data for this proposed activity-based costing system appear below: ACDR Activities and Activity Measures Estimated Overhead Cost of Activity Quantity of Activity Supporting direct labour (DLHS) $240,000 560,000 Setting up machines (setups) Parts administration (part types) Total 664,480 $1,464,480 Activities C18R Total 12,000 24,000 Supporting direct labour Setting up machines 1200 1,400 Part administration 1300 6650 G19R 12,000 200 5350
