During the year, Cancico Communications completed an order for special telephone equipment for a new customer, HurnTel. This customer did not order any other products during the year. Data concerning that order follow:
Selling price | $ | 214 | per unit |
Units ordered | 175 | units | |
Direct materials | $ | 193 | per unit |
Direct labour-hours | 0.6 | DLH per unit | |
Direct labour rate | $ | 23 | per DLH |
Required:
1. Prepare a report showing the first-stage allocations of overhead costs to the activity cost pools.
2. Compute the activity rates for the activity cost pools. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
3. Prepare a report showing the overhead costs for the order from HurnTel, including customer support costs. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
4. Prepare a report showing the customer margin for HurnTel. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

First, there is disagreement about how best to allocate the manufacturing overhead among the products. The current cost accounting system allocates manufacturing overhead to products based on expected unit sales. (Because Ferry carries no inventory, unit sales are equal to units produced.) Second, there is a concern about a "softening" in the demand for these systems and the managers at Ferry want to get a better understanding of possible financial implications if demand should be weaker than expected.
