Problem 17-5A Part 5

1. Using a plantwide overhead rate based on cases, compute the overhead cost that is assigned to each case of Extra Fine Salsa and each case of Family Style Salsa. 2. Using the plantwide overhead rate, determine the total cost per case for the two products if the direct materials and direct labor cost is $10 per case of Extra Fine and $8 per case of Family Style. 3.a. If the market price of Extra Fine Salsa is $18 per case and the market price of Family Style Salsa is $13 per case, determine the gross profit per case for each product. 3.b. What might management conclude about the Family Style Salsa product line?

5. If the market price is $18 per case of Extra Fine and $13 per case of Family Style, determine the gross profit per case for each product. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)
