Accounting

Bramble Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) a
commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 212 pounds of multi-
purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of
multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct
labor hours are 96,300 or hours (54,000+10,200). Estimated annual manufacturing overhead is $1,569,238. Thus, the
predetermined overhead rate is $16.30 or ($1,569,23896,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.50 for
the home model and $26.50 for the commercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for both the home and the commercial
models.
