Kunkel Company makes two products and uses a conventional costing system. A single plantwide predetermined overhead rate is comp

uted based on direct labor-hours. Data for the two products for the upcoming year follow: Mercon WurconDirect materials cost per unit $ 8.00 $ 6.00Direct labor cost per unit $10.00 $11.00Direct labor-hours per unit 2.00 7.00Number of units produced 1,000 2,000These products are customized to some degree for specific customers.Required:1. The company's manufacturing overhead costs for the year are expected to be $640,000. Using the company's conventional costing system, compute the unit product costs for the two products. (Do not round intermediate calculation. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)2. Management is considering an activity-based costing system in which half of the overhead would continue to be allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours and haif would be allocated on the basis of engineering design time. This time is expected to be distributed as follows during the upcoming year:Engineering design time (in hours) 1,000 1,000 2,000Compute the unit product cost for the two products using the proposed ABC system. (Do not round intermediate calculation. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.

Answer:

1) using conventional costing

unit cost mercon = $98

unit cost wurcon = $297

2) using ABC costing

unit cost mercon = $218

unit cost wurcon = $237

Explanation:

                                                     Mercon           Wurcon

Direct materials cost per unit       $8.00             $6.00

Direct labor cost per unit            $10.00             $11.00

Direct labor-hours per unit            2.00                7.00

overhead rate applied                     $80              $280      

Number of units produced           1,000              2,000

overhead rate = total overhead / total direct labor hours = $640,000 / 16,000 = $40

unit cost mercon = $8 + $10 + $80 = $98

unit cost wurcon = $6 + $11 + $280 = $297

using the ABC costing, overhead rate is only 50%

Mercon           Wurcon

Direct materials cost per unit       $8.00             $6.00

Direct labor cost per unit            $10.00             $11.00

Direct labor-hours per unit            2.00                7.00

overhead rate applies                     $40              $140      

Number of units produced           1,000              2,000

total engineering costs          $160,000        $160,000

engineering cost per unit              $160                $80

engineering cost per unit = $320,000 / 2,000 = $160

unit cost mercon = $8 + $10 + $40 + $160 = $218

unit cost wurcon = $6 + $11 + $140 + $80 = $237

The budgeted unit sales of Weller Company for the upcoming fiscal year are provided below:1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4t
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Total cost= $392,500

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

1st Quarter= 24,000 units

2nd Quarter= 25,000

3rd Quarter= 21,000

4th Quarter= 22,000

The company's variable selling and administrative expense per unit is $2.30.

Fixed selling and administrative expenses include advertising expenses of $9,000 per quarter, executive salaries of $44,000 per quarter. Also, the company will make insurance payments of $4,000 in the first quarter and $4,000 in the third quarter. Finally, property taxes of $8,600 will be paid in the second quarter.

We will assume that insurance and taxes are for offices and properties of the selling and administrative department.

1st quarter:

Variable cost= 2.3*24,000= 55,200

Fixed expense= 9,000 + 44,000= 53,000

Insurance= 4,000

Total= $112,200

2nd quarter:

Variable cost= 2.3*25,000= 57,500

Fixed expense= 9,000 + 44,000= 53,000

Property taxes= 8,600

Total= $71,400

3rd quarter:

Variable cost= 2.3*21,000= 48,300

Fixed expense= 9,000 + 44,000= 53,000

Insurance= 4,000

Total= $105,300

4th quarter:

Variable cost= 2.3*22,000= 50,600

Fixed expense= 9,000 + 44,000= 53,000

Total= $103,600

Total cost= $392,500
