Question

Harrison Company makes two products and uses a conventional costing system in which a single plant-wide predetermined overhead rate is computed based on direct labor-hours. Data for the two products for the upcoming year follow:


Rascon Parcel
Direct materials cost per unit $ 13.50 $ 22.40
Direct labor cost per unit $ 6.80 $ 3.10
Direct labor-hours per unit 0.46 0.28
Number of units produced 16,000 72,000


These products are customized to some degree for specific customers.

Requirement 1:
The company's manufacturing overhead costs for the year are expected to be $671,488. Using the-company's conventional costing system, compute the unit product costs for the two products. (Do not round intermediate calculation. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)


Rascon Parcel
Unit product cost $ $


Requirement 2:
Management is considering an activity-based costing system in which half of the overhead would continue to be allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours and half would be allocated on the basis of engineering design time. This time is expected to be distributed as follows during the upcoming year:


Rascon Parcel Total
Engineering design time (in hours) 3,400 2,500 5,900


Compute the unit product costs for the two products using the proposed ABC system. (Do not round intermediate calculation. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Explanation / Answer

Requirement 1: The company's manufacturing overhead costs for the year are expected to be $671,488. Using the-company's conventional costing system, compute the unit product costs for the two products. (Do not round intermediate calculation. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.) Rascon Parcel Number of units 16,000 72,000 Direct labor hrs per unit 0.46 0.28 Total Direct labor hour 7,360 20,160 Per Hour Overhead rate $24.40 Rascon Parcel Direct materials cost per unit $ 13.50 $ 22.40 Direct labor cost per unit $ 6.80 $ 3.10 Overhead $11.22 $6.83 Unit product cost $31.52 $32.33 Requirement 2: Management is considering an activity-based costing system in which half of the overhead would continue to be allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours and half would be allocated on the basis of engineering design time. This time is expected to be distributed as follows during the upcoming year: Allocation in Direct labor hours Rascon Parcel Number of units 16,000 72,000 Direct labor hrs per unit 0.46 0.28 Total Direct labor hour 7,360 20,160 Per Hour Overhead rate $12.20 Unit product cost $5.61 $3.42 Rascon Parcel Total Engineering design time (in hours) 3,400 2,500 5,900 Allocation in Engineering design time Rascon Parcel Number of units 16,000 72,000 Engineering design hrs per unit 0.2125 0.03472 Per Hour Overhead rate $56.905 Unit product cost $12.09 $1.98 Compute the unit product costs for the two products using the proposed ABC system. (Do not round intermediate calculation. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.) Rascon Parcel Direct materials cost per unit $ 13.50 $ 22.40 Direct labor cost per unit $ 6.80 $ 3.10 Overhead $17.70 $5.40 Unit product cost $ 38.0 $30.9
