Problem 17-2A Schultz Electronics manufactures two ultra high-definition television models: the Royale which sells for $1,480, and a new model, the Majestic, which sells for $1,270. The production cost computed per unit under traditional costing for each model in 2017 was as follows. Royale Majestic $600 $410 Traditional Costing Direct materials Direct labor ($20 per hour) Manufacturing overhead ($43 per DLH) Total per unit cost 120 100 258 215 $978 $725 In 2017, Schultz manufactured 25,000 units of the Royale and 10,000 units of the Majestic. The overhead rate of $43 per direct labor hour was determined by dividing total expected manufacturing overhead of $8,595,000 by the total direct labor hours (200,000) for the two models. Under traditional costing, the gross profit on the models was Royale $502 ($1,480 $978) and Majestic $545 ($1,270 - $725). Because of this difference, management is considering phasing out the Royale model and increasing the production of the Majestic model. Before finalizing its decision, management asks Schultz's controller to prepare an analysis using activity-based costing (ABC). The controller accumulates the following information about overhead for the year ended December 31, 2017. Activity Cost Pools Estimated Overhead Expected Use of Cost Drivers Activity-Based Overhead Rate Cost Drivers Purchasing Machine setups Machining Quality control Number of orders Number of setups Machine hours Number of inspections $1,343,100 959,400 5,404,500 888,000 40,700 18,450 120,100 29,600 $33/order $52/setup $45/hour $30/inspection The cost drivers used for each product were: Cost Drivers Total Purchase orders Machine setups Royale 16,900 5,050 74,400 11,000 Majestic 23,800 13,400 45,700 18,600 40,700 18,450 120,100 29,600 Machine hours Inspections Assign the total 2017 manufacturing overhead costs to the two products using activity-based costing (ABC) and determine the overhead cost per unit.
