Rehm Company manufactures a product that is available in both a deluxe model and a regular model. The company has manufactured the regular model for years. The deluxe model was introduced several years ago to tap a new segment of the market. Since introduction of the deluxe model, the company’s profits have steadily declined, and management has become increasingly concerned about the accuracy of its costing system. Sales of the deluxe model have been increasing rapidly.
Manufacturing overhead is assigned to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. For the current year, the company has estimated that it will incur $4,788,125 in manufacturing overhead cost and produce 16,000 units of the deluxe model and 122,000 units of the regular model. The deluxe model requires 1.0 hours of direct labor time per unit, and the regular model requires .5 hours. Material and labor costs per unit are as follows:
Model
Deluxe Regular
Direct materials $ 153 $ 118
Direct labor $ 11 $ 5
1a.
Using direct labor-hours as the base for assigning manufacturing overhead cost to products, compute the predetermined overhead rate. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Predetermined overhead rate $ per DLH
1b.
Using the predetermined overhead rate computed in 1-a above and other data from the problem, determine the unit product cost of each model. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Deluxe Regular
Unit product cost $ $
2.
Management is considering using activity-based costing to apply manufacturing overhead costs to products for external financial reports. The activity-based costing system would have the following four activity cost pools:
Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Estimated
Overhead Cost
Purchase orders Number of purchase orders $ 337,500
Scrap/rework orders Number of scrap/rework orders 482,625
Product testing Number of tests 1,368,000
Machine related Machine-hours 2,600,000
Total overhead cost $ 4,788,125
Expected Activity
Activity Measure Deluxe Regular Total
Number of purchase orders 500 1,000 1,500
Number of scrap/rework orders 375 300 675
Number of tests 5,760 8,640 14,400
Machine-hours 20,800 31,200 52,000
Compute the predetermined overhead rates (i.e. activity rates) for each of the four activity cost pools. (Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Activity Cost Pool Predetermined Overhead Rate
Purchase orders $ per purchase order
Scrap/rework orders $ per scrap/rework orders
Product testing $ per test
Machine related $ per MH
3. Using the predetermined overhead rates computed in part (2) above, do the following:
a.
Compute the total amount of manufacturing overhead cost that would be applied to each model using the activity-based costing system. After these totals have been computed, determine the amount of manufacturing overhead cost per unit for each model. (Round your overhead per unit to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Activity Cost Pool Deluxe Regular
Total overhead cost $ $
Overhead cost per unit $ $
b.
Compute the unit product cost of each model (materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead). (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Direct materials $ $
Direct labor
Manufacturing overhead (above)

Using direct labor-hours as the base for assigning manufacturing overhead cost to products, compute the predetermined overhead rate. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Predetermined overhead rate $ per DLH = 4,788,125/(16000+61000)=62.18 per DLH
