Answer:
Way Cool
1. Using ABC, the overhead cost per unit for each product line:
Model 145 Model 212
Overhead cost per unit $534.39 $266.12
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 $170 for Model 212:
Model 145 Model 212
Total cost per unit $784.39 $436.12
3. If the market price for Model 145 is $1,700 and the market price for Model 212 is $300, the profit or loss per unit for each model:
Model 145 Model 212
Profit (loss) per unit $915.61 ($136.12)
Explanation:

Additional production information concerning its two product lines follows:
Model 145 Model 212 Total
Units produced 1,500 3,120 4,620
Welding hours 2,000 3,200 5,200
Batches 445 445 890
Number of inspections 480 370 850

Setups 60 60 120
Rework orders 160 60 220
Purchase orders 362 181 543
Overhead Rates per Activity Pool:
Components Changeover $ 470,000/890 = $528
Machining 304,000/ 8,130 = $37.39
Setups 225,000/120 = $1,875
Total $ 999,000
Finishing
Welding $ 192,000/5,200 = $36.92
Inspecting 235,000/850 = $276.47
Rework 61,000/220 = $277.27
Total $ 488,000
Support
Purchasing $ 145,000/543 = $267
Providing space 33,000/4,620 = $7.14
Providing utilities 65,000/4,620 = $14.07
Total $ 243,000
Total overheads = $1,730,000
