Rocky Mountain Corporation makes two types of hiking bootsXactive and the Pathbreaker. Data concerning these two product lines appear below:

Xactive Pathbreaker
Direct materials per unit $ 64.80 $ 51.00
Direct labor cost per unit $ 18.20 $ 13.00
Direct labor-hours per unit 1.4 DLHs 1.0 DLHs
Estimated annual production and sales 25,000 units 75,000 units

The company has a conventional costing system in which manufacturing overhead is applied to units based on direct labor-hours. Data concerning manufacturing overhead and direct labor-hours for the upcoming year appear below:

Estimated total manufacturing overhead $2,200,000
Estimated total direct labor-hours 110,000 DLHs

Required:
1-a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours.

Predetermined overhead rate $ per DLH

1-b. Using the predetermined overhead rate and other data from the problem, determine the unit product cost of each product.

Xactive Pathbreaker
Unit product cost $ $

2. The company is considering replacing its conventional costing system with an activity-based costing system that would assign its manufacturing overhead to the following four activity cost pools:

Activities and Activity Measures Estimated Overhead Cost Expected Activity
Xactive Pathbreaker Total
Supporting direct labor (direct labor-hours) $ 797,500 35,000 75,000 110,000
Batch setups (setups) 680,000 250 150 400
Product sustaining (number of products) 650,000 1 1 2
General factory (machine-hours) 72,500 2,500 7,500 10,000
Total manufacturing overhead cost $ 2,200,000

Determine the activity rate for each of the four activity cost pools.(Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Activity Cost Pools Activity Rate
Supporting direct labor $ per DLH
Batch setups $ per setup
Product sustaining $ per product
General factory $ per MH

3.

Using the activity rates and other data from the problem, determine the unit product cost of each product. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
