Consequently, the price increase reduces the demand for the product while increases the demand for its substitutes.

The substitution effect describes how consumption is affected by an increase or a decrease in a product's price.

Laval produces lamps and home lighting fixtures. Its most popular product is a brushed aluminum desk lamp. This lamp is made fro

12345 [234]

Answer:

Part 1.

Plantwide overhead rate for Laval using direct labor hours as a base. is $1.60 per Direct Labor Hour

Part 2.

Total manufacturing cost per unit for the aluminum desk lamp using the plantwide overhead rate is $78.76

Part 3. Compute departmental overhead rates based on machine hours in the fabricating department and direct labor hours in the assembly department.

Fabricating Assembly

Overheads (R) 390000 410000

Department Cost Driver 152000 290000

Overhead Rate 2.57 1.41

Therefore Overhead Rates are :

Fabricating Department $ 2.57 per Machine Hour

Assembly Department $1.41 per Labor Hour

Part 4. Use departmental overhead rates from requirement 3 to determine the total manufacturing cost per unit for the aluminum desk lamps.

Direct materials ($270000/21000) 12.86

Direct labor:

Fabricating department(6500/21000×$29) 8.98

Assembly department(15200/21000×$26) 18.82

Overheads:

Fabricating department(152000/21000×$2.57) 18.60

Assembly department (290000/21000×$1.41) 19.47

Total manufacturing cost per unit 78.73

Explanation:

Part 1. Plantwide overhead rate for Laval using direct labor hours as a base.

Overhead Rate = Total Overheads/Total Direct Labor Hours

= $1.60 per Direct Labor Hour

Fabricating Assembly Total

Overheads (R) 390000 410000 800000

Direct Labor Hrs 210000 290000 500000

Overhead Rate 1.60

Part 2. Total manufacturing cost per unit for the aluminum desk lamp using the plantwide overhead rate

Direct materials ($270000/21000) 12.86

Direct labor:

Fabricating department(6500/21000×$29) 8.98

Assembly department(15200/21000×$26) 18.82

Overheads:

Fabricating department(210000/21000×$1.60) 16.00

Assembly department (290000/21000×$1.60) 22.10

Total manufacturing cost per unit 78.76

Part 3. Compute departmental overhead rates based on machine hours in the fabricating department and direct labor hours in the assembly department.

Part 4. Use departmental overhead rates from requirement 3 to determine the total manufacturing cost per unit for the aluminum desk lamps.
