Question

Tiger Furnishings produces two models of cabinets for home theater components, the Basic and the Dominator. Data on operations and costs for March follow:

	Basic			Dominator			Total
Units produced		1,080			330			1,410
Machine-hours		3,500			3,500			7,000
Direct labor-hours		3,900			3,400			7,300
Direct materials costs	$	10,000		$	4,050		$	14,050
Direct labor costs		63,500			56,500			120,000
Manufacturing overhead costs								208,280
Total costs							$	342,330

Tiger Furnishings’s CFO believes that a two-stage cost allocation system would give managers better cost information. She asks the company’s cost accountant to analyze the accounts and assign overhead costs to two pools: overhead related to direct labor cost and overhead related to machine-hours.

The analysis of overhead accounts by the cost accountant follows:

Manufacturing Overhead	Overhead Estimate		Cost Pool Assignment
Utilities	$	1,600	Machine-hour related
Supplies		4,700	Direct labor cost related
Training		9,400	Direct labor cost related
Supervision		20,800	Direct labor cost related
Machine depreciation		30,000	Machine-hour related
Plant depreciation		24,400	Machine-hour related
Miscellaneous		117,380	Direct labor cost related

Required:

b. Compute the product costs per unit assuming that Tiger Furnishings uses direct labor costs and machine-hours to allocate overhead to the products. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole number.)

Answer 1

Calculate product cost per unit

	Basic	Dominator
Direct material	10000	4050
Direct labor	63500	56500
Overhead
Machine related	8*3500 = 28000	28000
Labor related	152280*63500/120000 = 80581.50	71698.50
Total Cost	182081.50	160248.50
Unit produced	1080	330
Unit cost	169	486
