Maglie Company manufactures two video game consoles: handheld and home. The handheld consoles are smaller and less expensive than the home consoles. The company only recently began producing the home model. Since the introduction of the new product, profits have been steadily declining. Management believes that the accounting system is not accurately allocating costs to products, particularly because sales of the new product have been increasing.
Management has asked you to investigate the cost allocation problem. You find that manufacturing overhead is currently assigned to products based on their direct labor costs. For your investigation, you have data from last year. Manufacturing overhead was $1,296,000 based on production of 360,000 handheld consoles and 94,000 home consoles. Direct labor and direct materials costs were as follows.
| Handheld | Home | Total | |||||||
| Direct labor | $ | 1,238,000 | $ | 382,000 | $ | 1,620,000 | |||
| Materials | 730,000 | 684,000 | 1,414,000 | ||||||
Management has determined that overhead costs are caused by three cost drivers. These drivers and their costs for last year are as follows.
| Activity Level | ||||||
| Cost Driver | Costs Assigned | Handheld | Home | Total | ||
| Number of production runs | $ | 550,000 | 45 | 5 | 50 | |
| Quality tests performed | 551,000 | 13 | 16 | 29 | ||
| Shipping orders processed | 195,000 | 110 | 40 | 150 | ||
| Total overhead | $ | 1,296,000 | ||||
Required:
a. How much overhead will be assigned to each product if these three cost drivers are used to allocate overhead? What is the total cost per unit produced for each product?
b. How much overhead will be assigned to each product if direct labor cost is used to allocate overhead? What is the total cost per unit produced for each product?

What is the volume variance in fixed overhead? Is the volume variance in fixed overhead favorable or unfavorable?
Use the following scenario to help with the questions:
DeFleur manufactures bicycles. The bicycles are manufactured in two divisions. In the framing division, the carbon bicycle frames are manufactured. In the assembly division, the components are assembled to the frame and the bike is ready for sale. There is no market for the unassembled frames and all manufactured frames are transferred to the assembly division. For the purposes of performance evaluation, the framing division transfers the completed frames to the assembly division at the budgeted standard cost of a frame. The budgeted units of production for the framing division is 1,000, all of which will be transferred to the assembly division at the standard full absorption cost.
The budgeted costs for the framing division are as follows:
| Direct Materials per unit: 10 layers of carbon-fiber at $20/layer | $200.00 |
| Direct Labor per unit: 8 hours at $12/hour | $96.00 |
1. Standard variable overhead is applied to products on the basis of direct labor hours at a rate of $4/unit produced.
Budgeted Fixed Overhead is $30,000 and the standard fixed cost per unit is based on the budgeted units of production.
Actual data for the period relating to the costs are as follows:
| The actual number of units produced was | 800 |
| Actual Fixed Overhead costs were | $32,000 |
| Actual Variable Overhead costs | $4,000 |
2. The framing division worked 7,500 direct labor hours during the year at a total cost of $93,750.
3. A total of 9,000 carbon-fiber layers were purchased and used in production during the year at a total cost of $171,000
4. Total Budgeted cost for the framing department was $330,000. The total actual cost was $300,750
(Note that all the questions on variance are with respect to the framing department.)
