Ontario, Inc. manufactures two products, Standard and Enhanced, and applies overhead on the basis of direct-labor hours. Anticipated overhead and direct-labor time for the upcoming accounting period are $800,000 and 25,000 hours, respectively. Information about the company’s products follows.
Standard: Est. production volume, 3000 units
Direct-material cost, $25 per Unit
Direct Labor per unit, 3 hrs at $12 per hr
Enhanced: Est. production volume, 4000 units
Direct material cost, $40 per Unit
Direct Labor per unit, 4 hrs at $12 per hr
Ontario’s overhead of $800,000 can be identified with three major activities: order processing ($150,000), machine processing ($560,000), and product inspection ($90,000). These activities are driven by number of orders processed, machine hours worked, and inspection hours, respectively. Data relevant to these activities follow.
Orders Processed Machine Hrs Worked Inspection Hrs
Standard 300 18000 2000
Enhanced 200 22000 8000
500 40000 10000
Top management is very concerned about declining profitability despite a healthy increase in sales volume. The decrease in income is especially puzzling because the company recently undertook a massive plant renovation during which new, highly automated machinery was installed—machinery that was expected to produce significant operating efficiencies.
2. Assuming use of activity-based costing, compute the unit manufacturing costs of the standard and enhanced products if the expected manufacturing volume is attained.
