Here is the problem:
William Samson Co. produces two products. The products' identified costs and production information are as follows:
Direct Materials Product A $18,000 Product B $12,000
Direct Labor Product A $6,000 Product B $12,000
Units Produced Product A $4,000 Product B $5,000
The company's overhead costs are $54,000.
a. Assuming the company allocates overhead on the basis of labor cost, compute the overhead and total production cost for both products.
b. Assuming the company allocates overhead on the basis of units produced, compute the overhead and total production cost for both products.
