Eric Williams is a cost accountant and business analyst for Diamond Design Company (DDC), which manufactures expensive brass doorknobs. DDC uses two direct-cost categories: direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. Williams feels that manufacturing overhead is most closely related to material usage. Therefore, DDC allocates manufacturing overhead to production based upon pounds of materials used. At the beginning of 2017, DDC budgeted annual production of 420,000 doorknobs and adopted the fol- lowing standards for each doorknob: Input 0.3 lb. @ $10/1b. 1.2 hours @ $17/hour Cost/Doorknob $ 3.00 20.40 Direct materials (brass) Direct manufacturing labor Manufacturing overhead: Variable Fixed Standard cost per doorknob $5/lb. X 0.3 lb. $15/lb. X 0.3 lb. 1.50 4.50 $29.40
