Tiger Furnishings’s CFO believes that a two-stage cost allocation
system would give managers better cost information. She asks the
company’s cost accountant to analyze the accounts and assign
overhead costs to two pools: overhead related to direct labor cost
and overhead related to machine-hours.
The analysis of overhead accounts by the cost accountant follows:
Manufacturing Overhead | Overhead Estimate |
Cost Pool Assignment | |
Utilities | $ | 1,500 | Machine-hour related |
Supplies | 4,300 | Direct labor cost related | |
Training | 8,600 | Direct labor cost related | |
Supervision | 25,800 | Direct labor cost related | |
Machine depreciation | 27,000 | Machine-hour related | |
Plant depreciation | 19,500 | Machine-hour related | |
Miscellaneous | 101,110 | Direct labor cost related | |
Required:
b. Compute the product costs per unit assuming that Tiger Furnishings uses direct labor costs and machine-hours to allocate overhead to the products. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole number.)
