Problem 4-17 (Static) Contrast Activity-Based Costing and Conventional Product Costing [LO4-2, LO4-3, LO4-4] [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Puget World, Incorporated, manufactures two models of television sets, the N 800 XL model and the N 500 model. Data regarding the two products follow: Additional information about the company follows: a. Model N 800L requires $75 in direct materials per unit, and Model N 500 requires $25. b. The direct labor wage rate is $18 per hour. c. The company has always used direct labor-hours as the base for applying manufacturing overhead cost to products. d. Model N 800 XL is more complex to manufacture than Model N 500 and requires the use of special equipment. Consequently, the company is considering the use of activity-based costing to assign manufacturing overhead cost to products. Three activity cost pools have been identified as follows: Assume that the company continues to use direct labor-hours as the base for applying overhead cost to products. Compute the unit product cost of each model. 2. Assume that the company decides to use activity-based costing to assign manufacturing overhead cost to products. a(1). Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool. a(2). Determine the amount of overhead cost that would be assigned to each model using the activity-based costing system b. Compute the unit product cost of each model. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Assume that the company decides to use activity-based costing to assign manufacturing overhead cost to products. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool. 2. Assume that the company decides to use activity-based costing to assign manufacturing overhead cost to products. a(1). Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool. a(2). Determine the amount of overhead cost that would be assigned to each model using the activity-based costing system b. Compute the unit product cost of each model.
