Answer :
1.
Predetermined overhead rate = budgeted overhead ÷ budgeted direct-labor hours
= $800,000 ÷ 25,000* = $32 per direct labor hour
*25,000 budgeted direct-labor hours = (3,000 units of Standard)(3 hrs./unit) +
(4,000 units of Enhanced)(4 hrs./unit)

3.
a.
The Enhanced product is overcosted by the traditional product-costing system. The labor-hour application base resulted in a $216 unit cost; in contrast, the more accurate ABC approach yielded a lower unit cost of $198. The opposite situation occurs with the Standard product, which is undercosted by the traditional approach ($157 vs. $181 under ABC).
b.
Yes, especially since the company's selling prices are based heavily on cost. An overcosted product will result in an inflated selling price, which could prove detrimental in a highly competitive marketplace. Customers will be turned off and will go elsewhere, which hurts profitability. With undercosted products, selling prices may be too low to adequately cover a product's more accurate (higher) cost. This situation is also troublesome and will result in a lower income being reported for the company.
