Problem 4-2A Schultz Electronics manufactures two ultra high-definition television models: the Royale which sells for $1,480, and a new model, the Majestic, which sells for $1,320. The production cost computed per unit under traditional costing for each model in 2017 was as follows. Traditional Costing Royale Majestic Direct materials $620 $420 Direct labor ($20 per hour) 120 100 Manufacturing overhead ($41 per DLH) 246 205 Total per unit cost $986 $725 In 2017, Schultz manufactured 25,000 units of the Royale and 10,000 units of the Majestic. The overhead rate of $41 per direct labor hour was determined by dividing total expected manufacturing overhead of $8,217,010 by the total direct labor hours (200,000) for the two models. Under traditional costing, the gross profit on the models was Royale $494 ($1,480 $986) and Majestic $595 ($1,320 $725). Because of this difference, management is considering phasing out the Royale model and increasing the production of the Majestic model. Before finalizing its decision, management asks Schultzs controller to prepare an analysis using activity-based costing (ABC). The controller accumulates the following information about overhead for the year ended December 31, 2017. Activity Cost Pools Cost Drivers Estimated Overhead Expected Use of Cost Drivers Activity-Based Overhead Rate Purchasing Number of orders $1,232,000 38,500 $32/order Machine setups Number of setups 862,410 16,910 $51/setup Machining Machine hours 5,293,200 120,300 $44/hour Quality control Number of inspections 829,400 28,600 $29/inspection The cost drivers used for each product were: Cost Drivers Royale Majestic Total Purchase orders 16,100 22,400 38,500 Machine setups 4,310 12,600 16,910 Machine hours 74,900 45,400 120,300 Inspections 10,000 18,600 28,600 Assign the total 2017 manufacturing overhead costs to the two products using activity-based costing (ABC) and determine the overhead cost per unit. (Round cost per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25.) Calculate cost per unit of each model using ABC costing. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25.) Calculate gross profit of each model using ABC costing. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25.)
