International Steel Company has budgeted manufacturing overhead costs of $1,960,000. 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 Material handling Number of moves Purchase orders Number of orders Product testing Number of tests Machine set-up Number of set-ups Machining Machine hours Estimated Overhead $276,000 $112,000 $432,000 $330,000 $810,000 Estimated Activity 46,000 moves 1,400 orders 3,600 tests 5,000 set-ups 100,000 machine hours Each unit of the products requires the following: Soft Steel Hard Steel $300 $200 $120 $60 2 3 Direct materials costs Direct labour costs Purchase orders Machine set-up Product testing Machining Material handling 5 10 3 4 50 50 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.) Soft Steel Hard Steel $ $ Total manufacturing cost per unit Under ABC, prepare a schedule showing the calculation of the activity-based overhead rates (per cost driver). (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.) Cost Pool Rate Cost Drivers $ Material handling per move $ Purchase orders per order $ Product testing per test $ Machine set-up per set-up $ Machining per machine hr Calculate the total manufacturing cost per unit for both products under ABC. (Round per cost driver to 2 decimal places, e.g. 25.25 and final answers to o decimal places, e.g. 1,525.) Soft Steel Hard Steel $ $ Total manufacturing cost per unit using ABC
