Question:
Santiago Manufacturing prices its products at full cost plus 40 percent. The company has two support departments and two production departments. Budgeted costs and normal activity levels are as follows:
Support Departments | Producing Departments | |||
A | B | C | D | |
Overhead costs | $20,000 | $50,000 | $90,000 | $120,000 |
Square feet | 2,000 | 2,400 | 4,000 | 12,000 |
Number of employees | 20 | 30 | 60 | 40 |
Direct labor hours | - | - | 10,000 | 6,400 |
Machine hours | - | - | 6,000 | 10,800 |
Support Department A's costs are distributed on a per square meter basis, while the costs of Support Department B are distributed by the number of employees. Department C uses working hours directly to assign overheads to products, while Department D uses machine hours. One of the company's products requires 4 direct labor hours per unit in Department C, and Department D' does not require time. The cost of direct materials for the product is $45 per unit and direct labor is $20 per unit. If the direct distribution method is used and the company follows the usual pricing policy, what would be the selling price of the product?
