Underhill Incorporated manufactures and sells two products: Product Y1 and Product Y0. Data concerning the expected production o
f each product and the expected total direct labor-hours (DLHs) required to produce that output appears below: Direct Direct Expected Labor Labor Production Per Unit Hours Product Y1 300 6.0 1,800 Product Y0 500 9.0 4,500 Total direct labor-hours 6,300The direct labor rate is $27.50 per DLH. The direct materials cost per unit is $106.10 for Product Y1 and $168.40 for Product Y0. The company is considering adopting an activity-based costing system with the following activity cost pools, activity measures, and expected activity: Estimated Activity Overhead ---- EXPECTED ACTIVITY -----Activity Cost Pool Measures Cost Product Y1 Product Y0 TotalLabor-related DLHs $151,263 1,800 4,500 6,300Production orders Orders $43,253 300 400 700Order size MHs $863,478 4,900 5,000 9,900Total $1,057,9941. What is the overhead applied to each unit of Product Y1 under activity-based costing?2. If the company allocates all of its overhead based on direct labor-hours using its traditional costing method, what is the overhead cost that would be applied to each unit of Product Y1?

Please check the attached image for the depreciation schedule
2. Units of production method
Explanation:
Book value in year 1 = Cost of asset - Depreciation expense of year 1
Book value in year in subsequent years = previous book value - that year's depreciation expense
Accumulated depreciation is sum of deprecation expense
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($18,000 - $3,000) / 4 = $3,750
Depreciation expense each year of the useful life is $3,750
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Deprecation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 0.5
Depreciation expense in year 1 = 0.5 x $18,000 = $9,000
Book value = $18,000 - $9,000 = $9,000
Depreciation expense in year 2 = 0.5 × $9,000 = $4,500
Book value = $9,000 - $4,500 = $4,500
Depreciation expense in year 3 = 0.5 x $4,500 = $2250
Book value = $4,500 - $2250 = $2250
Depreciation expense in year 4 = 0.5 × $2250 = $1125
Depreciation expense using the unit of production method =( Total production in the year/ total productive capacity) × (cost of asset - Salvage value)
Depreciation expense in year 1 = ($18,000 - $3,000) x (300 / 3000) = $1,500
Depreciation expense in year 2 =18,000 - $3,000) x (900 / 3000) = $4,500
Depreciation expense in year 3 = (18,000 - $3,000) x (1200 / 3000) = $6,000
Depreciation expense in year 3 = (18,000 - $3,000) x (600 / 3000) = $3,000
The Units of production method tracks wear and tear accurately because deprecation depends on the production each year.
