Combat Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles fortwo models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and(2) a commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is ahigh-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercialmodel is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder thatholds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Bothproducts require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion.Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 96,300 or [1.5 hours× (54,000 + 10,200)]. Estimated annual manufacturing overhead is $1,590,008. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $ 16.51 or ($1,590,008 ÷ 96,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materialscost per unit is $18.50 for the home model and $26.50 for thecommercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for boththe home and the commercial models.

The company’s managers identified six activity cost pools andrelated cost drivers and accumulated overhead by cost pool asfollows.

(a)

Under traditional product costing, compute the total unit costof each product. (Round answers to 2 decimal places,e.g. 12.50.)

Total unit cost

$ enter a dollar amount rounded to 2 decimal places

$ enter a dollar amount rounded to 2 decimal places

2.)Under ABC, complete the schedule showing the computations ofthe activity-based overhead rates (per cost driver). (Round youranswers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25.)

3.)Complete the schedule assigning each activity's overhead costpool to each product based on the use of cost drivers. (Use ratesfrom part b above and round cost assigned to 0 decimal places, e.g.12,250. Round overhead per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25.Note that due to rounding your total cost assigned will be slightlydifferent than calculated above.)
