Doaktown Products manufactures fishing equipment for recreational uses. The Miramichi plant produces the company's two versions of a special reel used for river fishing. The two models are the M-008, a basic reel, and the M-123, a new and improved version. Cost accountants at company headquarters have prepared costs for the two reels for the most recent period. The plant manager is concerned. The cost report does not coincide with her intuition about the relative costs of the two models. She has asked you to review the cost accounting and help her prepare a response to headquarters. Manufacturing overhead is currently assigned to products based on their direct labor costs. For the most recent month, manufacturing overhead was $276,800. During that time, the company produced 10,800 units of the M-008 and 2,600 units of the M-123. The direct costs of production were as follows. M-00B M-123 Direct materials $86, 400 $104,000 Direct labor 86,400 52,000 Total $190, 400 138, 400 Management determined that overhead costs are caused by three cost drivers. These drivers and their costs for last year were as follows. Cost Driver Number of machine-hours Number of production runs Number of inspections Total overhead Costs $103.800 80,000 93,000 $276.800 Activity Lovel M-008 M-123 8,000 2,000 10 30 25 25 Total 10,000 40 50 Required: a.
