The company has a conventional costing system in which manufacturing overhead is applied to units based on direct labor-hours. Data concerning manufacturing overhead and direct labor-hours for the upcoming year appear below:

Estimated total manufacturing overhead $2,562,640
Estimated total direct labor-hours 124,400 DLHs

Required:

1-a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours.

1-b. Using the predetermined overhead rate and other data from the problem, determine the unit product cost of each product.

2. The company is considering replacing its conventional costing system with an activity-based costing system that would assign its manufacturing overhead to the following four activity cost pools:

General factory (machine-hours) 84,560 3,100 8,100 11,200
Total manufacturing overhead cost $ 2,562,640

Determine the activity rate for each of the four activity cost pools.

3. Using the activity rates and other data from the problem, determine the unit product cost of each product.
