- Kunkel Company makes two products and uses a conventional costing system in which a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate is computed based on direct labor - hours. Data for the two products for the upcoming year follow: Mercon Wurcon Direct materials cost per unit $ 12.00 $ 9.00 Direct labor cost per unit $ 15.00 $ 17.00 Direct labor - hours per unit 0.50 3.25 Number of units produced 2,000 4,000 These products are customized to some degree for specific customers. Required: 1. The company's manufacturing overhead costs for the year are expected to be $560,000. Using the company's conventional costing system, compute the unit product costs for the two products. 2. Management is considering an activity - based costing system in which half of the overhead would continue to be allocated on the basis of direct labor - hours and half would be allocated on the basis of engineering design time. This time is expected to be distributed as follows during the upcoming year: Mercon Wurcon…arrow_forwardAileen Co manufactures two components, L and M.

- Qriole Inc. manufactures two products: car wheels and truck wheels. To determine the amount of overhead to assign to each product line, the controller, William Brown, has developed the following information: Estimated wheels produced Direct labour hours per wheel Car Car wheels $ Truck 45,000 11,000 4 Total estimated overhead costs for the two product lines are $1,340,000. Calculate the overhead cost assigned to the car wheels and truck wheels, assuming that direct labour hours are used to allocate overhead costs. 8 180,000arrow_forwardGable Company uses three activity pools.
