Morton Company has two divisions. Sales, direct materials cost, direct labor cost, and manufacturing overhead data for Morton’s two divisions are available below. Note: All of Morton Company’s products are sold in competitive markets.
Missile Salt
Products Products
Sales $1,500,000 $1,000,000
Direct labor (800,000) (300,000)
Direct materials (100,000) (40,000)
Manufacturing overhead* (400,000) (150,000)
Gross profit $200,000 $510,000
*Manufacturing overhead is allocated to production based on the amount of direct labor cost.
Morton has determined that its total manufacturing overhead cost of $550,000 is a mixture of batch-level costs and product line costs. Morton has assembled the following information concerning the manufacturing overhead costs, the annual number of production batches, and the number of product lines in each division.
