Carter Company manufactures two products, Deluxe and Regular, and uses a traditional two-stage cost allocation system. The first stage assigns all factory overhead costs to two production departments, A and B, based on machine hours. The second stage uses direct labor hours to allocate overhead to individual products. For the current year, the firm budgeted $1,550,000 total factory overhead cost. The $1,550,000 was for the planned levels of machine and direct labor hours shown in the following table. Production Production Department A Department B Machine hours Direct labor hours 6,200 31,000 24,800 15,500 The following information relates to the firm's operations for the month of January: Units produced and sold Deluxe 310 Regular 1,240 Unit cost of direct materials $ 155 $ 77.50 Hourly direct labor wage rate $ 25 Direct labor hours in Department A per unit Direct labor hours in Department B per unit 2 1 $ 31 2 1 Carter Company is considering implementing an activity-based costing system.
