Question

Tent pro produce two lines of tents sold to outdoor. The tents are cut to specification in department A. In department B the tents are down and folded. The activities, costs, and drivers associated with these two manufacturing processes and the company's production support activities follow. Additional production information on the lines of tents follows. Using a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours, compute the overhead cost that is assigned to each pup tent and each pop-up tent. Using the plantwide overhead rate, determine the total cost per unit for the two products if the direct materials and direct labor cost is $25 per pup tent and $32 per pop-up tent. If the market price of the pup lent is $65 and the market price of the pop-up tent is $200, determine the gross profit per unit for each tent. What might management conclude about the pup tent? Using ABC, compute the total cost per unit for each tent if the direct labor and direct materials cost is $25 per pup tent and $32 per pop-up tent. If the market price is $65 per pup tent and $200 per pop-up tent, determine the gross profit per unit for each tent. Comment on the results. Would your pricing analysis be improved if the company used, instead of ABC, department rates determined using machine hours in department A and direct labor hours in department B? Explain

Explanation / Answer

1

Calculation of Plantwide overhead rate and Allocated overhead:

Total Overhead Costs ($215630+$399480+$515600)

$                1,130,710

Total Direct Labor Hours (DLH)

4200

Plant wide Overhead Rate = $1130710 / 4200 =

$                 269.2167

Per DLH

Allocation of Overhead :

Pup Tent

Pop Up Tent

Direct Labor Hours (DLH) (A)

2600

1600

Plant wide Overhead Rate   (B)

$                 269.2167

$             269.2167

Allocated Overhead = A*B =

$             699,963.33

$           430,746.67

Calculation of Total Cost Per unit using plant wide overhead :

Pup Tent

Pop Up Tent

Total Direct Material and Labor Costs

380000

243200

(15200 Units * $25)

(7600 Units * $32)

Ovehead cost allocated

$             699,963.33

$           430,746.67

Total costs (A)

$          1,079,963.33

$           673,946.67

Total Units Produced (B)

15200

7600

Total cost per unit = A/B =

$                        71.05

$                     88.68

Calculation of Gross Profit Per unit:

Pup Tent

Pop Up Tent

Sales Price per unit

65

200

Less: Total cost per unit

$                      (71.05)

$                   (88.68)

Gross Profit Per unit

$                        (6.05)

$                   111.32

Decision:

The Gross Profit for Pup Tent is negative as per plantwide overhead cost allocation method.
