Problem 9-57 (Static) Activity-Based Costing: Analysis and Visualization (LO 9-5, 6) [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Clairepoint Medical Devices, Incorporated (CMDI) makes three types of a diagnostic device. For internal purposes, these models are referred to as Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, respectively. Although they are designed to provide the same information, the models differ by the quality of the materials and their electronic capabilities. The Alpha model is a relatively simple device that requires more manual data entry and retrieval. The Gamma model automates much of the interface with the user. As a purveyor of certain medical devices, including these models, CMDI requires certification for each model, regardless of the number of units sold. CMDI computes product costs by allocating all manufacturing overhead to products based on direct labor costs. After attending a seminar on financial analysis, the chief marketing officer (CMO) of CMDI asked the plant controller about ABC and whether it could be used for the costing of these three models. To respond to the request, the controller collected the following information for the upcoming period: Product-line information for the upcoming period follows: Problem 9-57 (Static) Activity-Based Costing: Analysis and Visualization ( LO 9-5, 6) Part 1 a.
