Units produced       130,000       390,000       ------
Prime costs       $9,360,000       $39,780,000       $49,140,000
Machine hours       130,000       650,000       780,000
Engineering hours       400       3,600       4,000
Receiving orders       400       1,200       1,600
Inspection hours       900       1,800       2,700
       
Overhead costs:       
Machining       $7,800,000
Engineering       1,680,000
Receiving       512,000
Inspecting products       351,000

Required:

1. Calculate the four activity rates.

Machining rate$ per machine hour
Engineering rate$ per hour
Receiving rate$ per order
Inspecting rate$ per hour

2. Calculate the unit costs using activityrates. Round your answers to the nearest cent.

Unit cost
Basic$ per unit
Advanced$ per unit

Calculate the overhead cost per unit. Round your answers to thenearest cent.

Overhead Cost
Basic$ per unit
Advanced$ per unit

3. What if consumption ratios instead ofactivity rates were used to assigned costs? Show the costassignment for the inspection activity.

1) Calculation of activity rate
Activity Cost (A) Cost driver (B) activity rate (A)/(B)
Machine rate 7800000 780000 10 Per machine hr
Engineering rate 1680000 4000 420 per engineering hr
Receiving rate 512000 1600 320 per order
inspecting rate 351000 2700 130 per inspection hr
2) Calculation of unit cost
Unit cost Basic Advanced
prime cost 9360000 39780000
Machine (130000*10), (650000*10) 1300000 6500000
engineering (400*420), (3600*420) 168000 1512000
receiving (400*320), (1200*320) 128000 384000
inspection (900*130), (1800*130) 117000 234000
total cost 11073000 48410000
total unit 130000 390000
Unit cost 85.18 124.13
3) Calculation of overhead cost per unit
Particulars Basic advanced
total cost as calculated above 11073000 48410000
less: prime cost 9360000 39780000
overhead cost 1713000 8630000
total unit 130000 390000
overhead cost per unit 13.18 22.13
4) Calculation of consumption ratio
Particulars Basic advanced total
inspecting products 900 1800 2700
Consumption ratio (900/2700),(1800/2700) 0.33 0.67
overhead assigned (351000*0.33), (351000*0.67) 117000 234000
