Activity-Based Costing and Product Cost Distortion
Digital Storage Concept Inc. is considering a change to activity-based product costing. The company produces two products, cell phones and tablet PCs, in a single production department. The production department is estimated to require 4,000 direct labor hours. The total indirect labor is budgeted to be $504,000.
Time records from indirect labor employees revealed that they spent 60% of their time setting up production runs and 40% of their time supporting actual production.
The following information about cell phones and tablet PCs was determined from the corporate records:

Tablet PCs | 800 | 2,000 | 72,000 | |||||||
Total | 2,400 | 4,000 | 144,000 |
If required, round your answers to the nearest cent.
a.
Plantwide overhead rate = $504000/ 4000 = $126 per LH
