Hello,

can you assist with the below and show all work?

Target costs:
Medical Instruments uses a manufacturing costing system with one direct cost category (direct materials) and three indirect cost categories:
a. Setup, production order, and materials-handling costs that vary with the number of batches.
b. Manufacturing operations costs that vary with machine-hours.
c. Costs of engineering changes that vary with the number of engineering changes made

In response to competitive pressures at the end of 2017, Medical Instruments used value-engineering techniques to reduce manufacturing costs. Actual information for 2017 and 2018 is

Target costs / product-design changes / product costs                                                                  

2017       2018

Total Setup, production order, material handling                                                             8,000    7,500

                                                                               

Total Mfg operations costs per machine hour 55          50

                                                                               

Costs of engineering changes 12,000 10,000

The management of Medical Instruments wants to evaluate whether value engineering has succeeded in reducing the target manufacturing cost per unit of one of its products, HJ6, by 10%.

ACT results 2017 & 2018

Units og HJ6 produced 3500 4000
DM cost per unit $1200 $1100
Total number of batches required 70 80
Total Machine hours to produce 21000 22000
Number of engineering Changes 14 10

A) calculate the manufacturing cost per unit of HJ6 in 2017

B) calculate the manufacturing cost per unit of HJ6 in 2018

C) Did medical instruments achieve the target manufacturing cost per unit in HJ6 in 2018
