Exercise 14-18 (Algo) Standard absorption cost per unit LO 14-9, 14-10

A cost analyst for Stamper Manufacturing Company has assembled the following data about the Model 24 stamp pad:

• The piece of sheet metal from which 8 pad cases can be made costs $0.15.
• This amount is based on the number of sheets in a 3,500-pound bundle of sheet metal, which is the usual purchase quantity.
• The foam pad that is put in the case costs $0.04, based on the number of pads that can be cut from a large roll of foam.
• Production standards, based on engineering analysis recognizing attainable performance, provide for the manufacture of 1,510 pads by 3 workers in an eight-hour shift. The standard direct labor pay rate is $11.65 per hour.
• Manufacturing overhead is applied to units produced using a predetermined overhead application rate of $17.0 per direct labor hour, of which $8.5 per hour is fixed manufacturing overhead.
