1.2 DLH/unit |
|
54,000 DLHs |
48,000 DLHs |
|
80,000 inspections |
15,500 inspections |
Under the revised ABC system, overhead costs per unit for the Sweatshirts will be ________. (Do not round interim calculations. Round the final answer to the nearest cent.)
A.
$ 1.97$1.97
per unit
B. $ 1.64 per unit
C. $ 1.10 per unit
D.$ 1.50 per unit
Overhead cost per inspection hour = Total inspection cost/total inspection hours
= $ 143,250/ (80,000 + 15,500) Hrs
= $ 143,250/95,500 = $ 1.5 per Hrs
Overhead inspection cost for sweat shirts (15,500 hours) = $ 1.5 x 15,000 = $ 23,250
Overhead cost per supervision hour = Total supervision cost/total direct labor hours
= $ 118,320/ (54,000 + 48,000) DLH
= $ 118,320/102,000 DLH
= $ 1.16 per DLH
Supervision cost for sweat shirts (48,000 DLH) = $ 1.16 x 48,000 = $ 55,680
Total overhead cost for sweat shirts = $ 23,250 + $ 55,680 = $ 78,930
Overhead cost per unit for sweat shirts = Total overhead cost for sweet shirts/No. of sweat shirts
= $ 78,930/40,000 = $ 1.97
Hence option “A. $ 1.97” is correct answer
