Question

Ramsey Company produces speakers ( Model A and Model B). Both products pass through two producing departments. Model A's production is much more labor-intensive than that of Model B. Model B is also the more popular of the two speakers.
The following data have been gathered for the two products:
Product Data
                                                 Model A                     Model B
Units produced per-year               30,000                      300,000
Prime Cost                             $100,000               $1,000,000
Direct labor Hours                      140,000                      300,000
Machine hours                             20,000 200,000
Production runs                              40    60
Inspection hours                               800                          1,200
Maintenance hours 10,000                        90,000

Overhead costs:
Setup costs    $180,000
Inspection costs                         140,000
Machining                                  160,000
Maintenance    180,000
                                    Total = $660,000

1. Compute the overhead cost per unit for each product by using ABC. Round to two decimal places.

2. Suppose that Ramsey decides to use departmental overhead rates. There are two departments: Department 1 ( Machine Intensive) with a rate of $2.33 per machine hour and Department 2 (labor intensive) with a rate of 0.60 per direct labor hour.
The consumption of this two drivers is as follows:

                                               Department 1 Machine Hours               Department 2 Direct Labor Hours
Model A                                       10,000                                                      30,000
Model B                            $170,000                                                  $270,000

Compute the overhead cost per unit for each product by using departmental rates. Round to two decimal places.

Explanation / Answer

1. Compute the overhead cost per unit for each product by using ABC. Round to two decimal places.
                               Total                        Model A        Model B
Setup costs           $180,000 $180,00x40/100 $72,000    $108,000  
Inspection costs    $140,000 $140,00x800/2000 $56,000     $84,000  
Machining             $160,000 $160,00x20/220   $14,545   $145,455  
Maintenance       $180,000 $180,00x10/100   $18,000    $162,000
           Total         $660,000                   $160,545 $499,455
Units produced                                         30,000    300,000
OH cost per unit                                        $5.35       $1.66

2. Suppose that Ramsey decides to use departmental overhead rates. There are two departments: Department 1 ( Machine Intensive) with a rate of $2.33 per machine hour and Department 2 (labor intensive) with a rate of 0.60 per direct labor hour.
The consumption of this two drivers is as follows:

                                               Department 1 Machine Hours               Department 2 Direct Labor Hours
Model A                                       10,000                                                      30,000
Model B                                     170,000                                                    270,000

Compute the overhead cost per unit for each product by using departmental rates. Round to two decimal places.

Total overhead costs
Department 1 (180,000 MH x $2.33)      $419,400
Department 2 (300,000 DLH x $0.60)     $180,000
Total overhead costs                              $599,400

Model A     [(10,000 x $2.33) + (30,000 x $0.60)]    $41,300
Per unit cost = $41,300 / 30,000 = $1.38

Model B   [(170,000 x $2.33) + (270,000 x $0.60)]   $558,100
Per unit cost = $558,100 / 300,000 = $1.86
