Question

In its first year of operations a company produced and sold 70,000 units of Product A at a selling price of $20 per unit and 17,500 units of Product B at a selling price of $40 per unit. Additional information relating to the company’s only two products is shown below:
 

  Product A Product B Total
Direct materials $ 436,300 $ 251,700 $ 688,000
Direct labor $ 200,000 $ 104,000 304,000
Manufacturing overhead     608,000
Cost of goods sold     $ 1,600,000

 

The company created an activity-based costing system that allocated its manufacturing overhead costs to four activities as follows:

 

Activity Cost Pool (and Activity Measure) Manufacturing Overhead Activity
Product A Product B Total
Machining (machine-hours) $ 213,500 90,000 62,500 152,500
Setups (setup hours) 157,500 75 300 375
Product design (number of products) 120,000 1 1 2
Other (organization-sustaining costs) 117,000 NA NA NA
Total manufacturing overhead cost $ 608,000      



The company’s ABC implementation team also concluded that $34,500 and $115,500 of the company’s advertising expenses could be directly traced to Product A and Product B, respectively. The remainder of its selling and administrative expenses ($400,000) was organization-sustaining in nature. 


The company’s activity-based costing system would report a product margin for Product A of:
