Management asks the firm’s cost accountant to compute product costs. The accountant first assigns overhead costs to two pools: overhead related to direct materials and overhead related to machine-hours. The analysis of overhead accounts by the cost accountant follows.
Account | Amount | Related to: | ||
Utilities | $ | 4,000 | Machine-hours | |
Supplies | 2,830 | Materials | ||
Machine |
9,834 | Machine-hours | ||
Purchasing and storing materials | 4,140 | Materials | ||
Miscellaneous | 3,350 | Machine-hours | ||
Required:
a. Compute the predetermined overhead rates assuming that Donovan uses machine-hours to allocate machine-related overhead costs and materials costs to allocate materials-related overhead costs.
b. Compute the total costs of production and the cost per unit for each of the two products for March.
