The product's direct materials cost is $49.55 per unit and its direct labor cost is $12.44 per unit. The product sells for $128.70 per unit. According to the activity-based costing system, the product margin for product W26B is:_____.a. $8,458.52.b. $10,920.12.c. $40,026.00.d. $10,912.40.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the activities rates:

Assembly= 1,372,578/61,800= $22.21 per machine-hour

Processing orders= 63,235/2,010= $31.46 per order

Inspection= 151,316/2,090= $72.4 per inspection-hour

Now, we allocate costs to W26B:

Assembly= 22.21*1,200= 26,652

Processing orders= 31.46*78= 2,453.88

Inspection= 72.4*34= 2,461.6

Total allocated costs= $31,567.48

Finally, the unitary cost and margin for W26B:

Unitary allocated cost= 31,567.48/600= $52.61

Unitary total cost= 49.55 + 12.44 + 52.61= $114.6

Product margin= 128.7*600 - 114.6*600= $8,460
