Xylon Corp. has contracts to complete weekly supplements required by forty-six customers. For the year 2020, manufacturing overhead cost estimates total $930,000 for an annual production capacity of 10 million pages.
For 2020, Xylon decided to evaluate the use of additional cost pools. After analyzing manufacturing overhead costs, it was determined that number of design changes, setups, and inspections are the primary manufacturing overhead cost drivers. The following information was gathered during the analysis:
Cost pool Manufacturing overhead costs Activity level
Design changes $160,000 500 design changes
Setups 602,000 3000 setups
Inspections 168,000 14,000 inspections
Total manufacturing overhead costs $930,000
During 2020, two customers, Money Managers and Hospital Systems, are expected to use the following printing services:
Activity Money Managers Hospital Systems
Pages 50,000 66,000
Design changes 14 6
Setups 20 10
Inspections 26 64
If manufacturing overhead costs are considered one large cost pool and are assigned based on 10 million pages of production capacity, what is the cost driver rate? (Round the final answer to three decimal places.)
Select one:
a. $0.060 per page
b. $0.033 per page
c. $0.082 per page
