c. Activity-based costing method
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Product A Product B
Direct materials $20 per unit $30 per unit
Direct labor hours 0.5 DLH/unit 1.5 DLH per unit
Total direct labor hours 8,000 (0.5*16,000) 5,400 (1.5*3,600)
Direct labor costs $160,000 ($20*8,000) $108,000 ($20*5,400)
Machine hours 0.4 MH per unit 1.2 MH per unit
Batches 200 batches 360 batches
Volume 16,000 units 3,600 units
Engineering modifications 20 modifications 80 modifications
Number of customers 800 customers 720 customers
Market price $55 per unit $220 per unit
Direct labor rate = $20 per direct labor hour (DLH).
Overhead rates based:
a. Plantwide Method:
Total manufacturing overhead costs/Total direct labor hours
$268,000/13,400 = $20

Income Statement:
Product A Product B
Sales Revenue ($55 and $220) $880,000 $792,000
Total production costs 640,000 306,000
Gross profit $240,000 $486,000
Volume 16,000 units 3,600 units
Gross profit per unit $15 $135
Gross profit $240,000 $486,000
Customers 800 customers 720 customers
