It is assumed that the cost per unit of activity for a given activity does not vary between departments. Steampunk’s president, Abner Punk, is trying to evaluate the company’s product mix strategy regarding two of its product models, SW100 and SG150. The company has been using a company wide overhead rate based on machine hours but is considering switching to either department rates of activity-based rate. The production manager has provided the following data for the production of a batch of 100 units for each of these models:
| SW100 | SG150 | |
|---|---|---|
| Direct materials cost | $ 18,000 | $ 27,000 |
| Direct labor cost | $ 7,200 | $ 5,400 |
| Machine hours (Fabrication) | 250 | 350 |
| Machine hours (Finishing) | 100 | 50 |
| Materials moves | 20 | 40 |
| Machine setups | 5 | 10 |
| Inspection hours | 15 | 30 |
a. Determine the cost of one unit each of SW100 and SG150, assuming a company-wide overhead rate is used based on total machine hours.
