Compare absorption and variable costing (Learning Objective 6)
Royal Industries has one product. Information about the production and sales of that product for the past year follow.
| Selling price per unit | $ 49.00 |
| Direct material per unit | $ 18.00 |
| Direct labor per unit | $ 6.00 |
| Total annual manufacturing |
$ 221,000 |
| Fixed portion of annual manufacturing overhead | $ 187,000 |
| Variable operating expenses per unit sold | $ 3.00 |
| Fixed operating expenses per year in total | $ 47,000 |
| Units manufactured | 17,000 |
| Units sold | 13,000 |
The company had no beginning inventory.

E19-15 Computing and using single plantwide overhead allocation rate
Learning Objective 1
Basic $322,000
Koehler makes handheld calculators in two models: basic and professional.
Koehler estimated $721,000 of manufacturing overhead and 515,000 machine
hours for the year. The basic model actually consumed 230,000 machine hours,
and the professional model consumed 285,000 machine hours.
Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rate using machine hours
(MHr) as the allocation base. How much overhead is allocated to the basic
model? To the professional model?
