Question Completion:
Way Cool produces two different models of air conditioners. The company produces the mechanical systems in its components department. The mechanical systems are combined with the housing assembly in its finishing department. The activities, costs, and drivers associated with these two manufacturing processes and the production support process follow. Process Activity Overhead Cost Driver Quantity Components Changeover $ 500,000 Number of batches 800 Machining 279,000 Machine hours 6,000 Setups 225,000 Number of setups 120 $ 1,004,000 Finishing Welding $ 180,300 Welding hours 3,000 Inspecting 210,000 Number of inspections 700 Rework 75,000 Rework orders 300 $ 465,300 Support Purchasing $ 135,000 Purchase orders 450 Providing space 32,000 Number of units 5,000 Providing utilities 65,000 Number of units 5,000 $ 232,000 Additional production information concerning its two product lines follows.

Determine departmental overhead rates and compute the overhead cost per unit for each product line. Base your overhead assignment for the components department on machine hours. Use welding hours to assign overhead costs to the finishing department. Assign costs to the support department based on number of purchase orders. 2. Determine the total cost per unit for each product line if the direct labor and direct materials costs per unit are $250 for Model 145 and $180 for Model 212. 3. If the market price for Model 145 is $820 and the market price for Model 212 is $480, determine the profit or loss per unit for each model.
Answer:
Way Cool
1. Departmental overhead rates:
Departmental overhead rates:
Components = $167.33 per MH
Finishing = $155.10 per welding hour
Support = $515.56 per purchase order
Overhead cost per unit $496.19 $245.72
2. The total cost per unit for each product line, if the direct labor and direct materials costs per unit are $250 for Model 145 and $180 for Model 212:
Model 145 Model 212
Total cost per unit $636.63 $500.38
3. If the market price for Model 145 is $820 and the market price for Model 212 is $480, the profit or loss per unit for each model:
Model 145 Model 212
Profit per unit $183.37 ($20.38)

Overhead Rates per Activity Pool:
Components Changeover $ 500,000/800 = $625
Machining 279,000/6,000 = $46.50
Setups 225,000/120 = $1,875
Total $ 1,004,000/6,000 = $167.33 per MH
Finishing
Welding $ 180,300/3,000 = $60.10
Inspecting 210,000/700 = $300
Rework 75,000/300 = $250
Total $ 465,300/3,000 = $155.10 per welding hour
Support
Purchasing $ 135,000/450 = $300
