The process of creating pencils and pens consists of two stages. The first stage of production is preparation. During this stage, the assembly line workers prepare the graphite, wood, ink, and plastic for the second stage of production – assembly. The company has determined that direct labor hours and number of units sold (200,000 pencils and 100,000 pens) are the most accurate cost allocation bases in the preparation and assembly stages, respectively. Below is the amount of time that each product spends in the two different stages:

Stage

Pencils

Pens

Preparation

0.02 direct labor hours

0.06 direct labor hours

Assembly

0.03 direct labor hours

0.04 direct labor hours

The end goal is to calculate the operating income!

  1. What is the manufacturing overhead rate for the assembly stage?
  2. Calculate the cost per unit for a pencil using actual costing.
  3. Calculate the total cost for a pen using actual costing.
  4. Calculate the gross profit for each pencil.
  5. Calculate the gross profit for each pen.
  6. Calculate the Cost of Goods Manufactured for Scribble Inc. for 2019.
  7. Calculate the Cost of Goods Sold for Scribble Inc. for 2019.
  8. Calculate the Gross Profit for Scribble Inc. for 2019.
  9. Calculate the Operating Income for Scribble Inc. for 2019
