International Steel Company has budgeted manufacturing overhead costs of $1,934,000. It has allocated overhead on a plant-wide basis to its two products (soft steel and hard steel) using machine hours, which are estimated to be 100,000 for the current year. The company has decided to experiment with activity-based costing and has created five activity cost pools and related activity cost drivers as follows:
Activity Centre Cost Driver Estimated Overhead Estimated Activity
Material handling Number of moves $282,000 47,000 moves
Purchase orders Number of orders $105,000 1,400 orders
Product testing Number of tests $407,000 3,700 tests
Machine set-up Number of set-ups $330,000 5,000 set-ups
Machining Machine hours $810,000 100,000 machine hours
Each unit of the products requires the following:
Soft Steel Hard Steel
Direct materials costs $300 $200
Direct labour costs $120 $60
Purchase orders 2 3
Machine set-up 5 10
Product testing 3 4
Machining 50 50
Material handling 4 6
Under traditional product costing using machine hours, calculate the total manufacturing cost per unit of both products. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 1525.)
