Part 1. New Firm uses an ABC system. The system includes 4 cost pools: mixing, machining finishing and packing.  Mixing is allocated on the basis of DM cost; machining is allocated on the basis of machine hours; finishing is allocated on the basis of DL hours and packing is allocated on the basis of product weight. At the beginning of this year, the following estimates were made

                    Direct Materials                             $734,000

                    Direct Labor                                     953,000

                    Mixing cost                                      377,000

                    Machining cost                                 721,000

                    Finishing cost                                   467,000

                    Packing cost                                     167,000

                    Units produced                                        800

                    Average weight per unit                            89 ounces

                    DL hours                                            32,000

                    Machine hours                                  306,000

                    

Job 491 was produced on June 16.  It contained $3,890 in DM and $8,400 in DL.  It weighed 52 ounces.  Production required 416 DLH and 981 machine hours.
