Answer 1

Answer:

Product margin= $9,607.5

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the allocation rates:

Assembly= 1,533,840 / 77,000= $19.92 per machine-hour

Processing orders= 91,065 / 1,950= $46.7 per order

Inspection= 139,788 / 1,980= $70.6 per inspection-hour

Now, we need to allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Assembly= 19.92*660= 13,147.2

Processing orders= 46.7*50= 2,335

Inspection= 70.6*10= 706

Total= $16,188.2

Finally, the product margin for product S78N:

Product margin= 430* (124.3 - 51.25 - 13.06) - 16,188.2

Product margin= $9,607.5
