Harrison Company makes two products and uses a traditional 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:



Rascon Parcel
Direct materials cost per unit $ 15 $ 8
Direct labor cost per unit $ 2.90 $ 3.80
Direct labor-hours per unit .20 .25
Number of units produced 20,000 41,000


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 $299,250. Using the company's traditional costing system, compute the unit product costs for the two products. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)




2.
Management is considering an activity-based absorption 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:



Rascon Parcel Total
Engineering design time (in hours) 4,400 4,400 8,800
Compute the unit product costs for the two products using the proposed activity-based absorption costing system. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

1. Rascon = $22.1 / unit

   Parcel = $17.05 / unit

2.  Rascon = $23.74 / unit

     Parcel = $ 16.30 / unit

Explanation:

Total Labor Hours = 0.2 * 20000 + 0.25 * 41000 = 14250 Labor Hour

Overhead Absorption Rate (OAR) = 299250 / 14250 => $21 / Direct Labor Hour

1. Per unit cost

   Rascon = DM + DL + Overheads

                 = 15 + 2.9 + (0.2 * 21) => $22.1

   Parcel = 8 + 3.8 + (0.25 * 21) => $17.05

2.

New OAR (Labor Hours) = [(299250 / 2) / 14250] = $10.5 / Labour hour

OAR ( Engineering Hour) = [(299250 / 2) / 8800] = $17 / Engineering Hour    

Engineering Hours per unit

Rascon = 4400 hours / 20000 units = 0.22 hours / unit

Parcel = 4400 hours / 41000 units = 0.1073 hours / unit rounded off to 0.11

Per unit cost

   Rascon = 15 + 2.9 + (0.2 * 10.5) + ( 17 * 0.22 ) = $23.74

   Parcel = 8 + 3.8 + (0.25 * 10.5) + ( 17 * 0.11 ) = $16.295

1. Using Harrison Company's traditional costing system, the computation of the unit product costs for the two products is as follows:

                                                     Rascon     Parcel

Direct materials cost per unit       $15.00     $8.00

Direct labor cost per unit               $2.90     $3.80

Manufacturing overhead per unit   4.20       5.25

Total unit product costs              $22.10    $17.05

2. Using Harrison Company's ABC costing system, the computation of the unit product costs for the two products is as follows:

                                                        Rascon     Parcel

Direct materials cost per unit          $15.00     $8.00

Direct labor cost per unit                  $2.90     $3.80

Manufacturing overhead (traditional) 2.10        2.63

Manufacturing overhead (ABC)         3.74          1.82

Total unit product costs                 $23.74    $16.25

What are the traditional and ABC costing systems?

The traditional costing system relies on the usage of a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate, like $21 per hour.

On the other hand, the ABC system ensures that the cost of each activity cost pool is assigned to the activities that consumed or caused the cost.

Data and Calculations:

                                                  Rascon     Parcel        Total

Direct materials cost per unit     $ 15           $ 8

Direct labor cost per unit             $ 2.90     $ 3.80

Direct labor-hours per unit            .20        .25

Number of units produced     20,000       41,000

Direct labor hours                     4,000        10,250       14,250

Expected manufacturing overhead for the year = $299,250

Manufacturing overhead per direct labor hour = $21 ($299,250/14,250)

                                                        Rascon     Parcel        Total

Direct materials cost per unit         $ 15           $ 8

Direct labor cost per unit                $ 2.90     $ 3.80

Direct labor-hours per unit                  .20        .25

Number of units produced           20,000       41,000

Direct labor hours                            4,000        10,250       14,250

Manufacturing overhead per unit based on traditional = $10.50 ($149,6250/14,250)

Manufacturing overhead per unit based on ABC:

                                                         Rascon     Parcel        Total

Engineering design time (in hours) 4,400       4,400        8,800

Manufacturing overhead cost per design hour = $17.00 ($149,625/8,800

Total manufacturing overhead      $74,800     $74,800  $149,600

Number of units produced              20,000      41,000

Unit manufacturing overhead        $3.74           $1.82
