Overhead costs are allocated based on direct labor-hours. Required: a. Compute the estimated per unit product costs for the next fiscal year, based on the current cost accounting system. b. An analyst on the planning process team suggests that a two-stage system would improve the estimated product costs. The ana suggests that overhead be first assigned to on one of two cost pools: Machine related and labor related. Machine-related overh consists of the accounts "Engineering" and "Machine operation and maintenance." Labor-related overhead consists of the remaining manufacturing overhead. Machine-related costs would be allocated based on machine-hours. Labor-related overhead would be allocated based on direct labor cost.
