Batches 400 400
Number of inspections 400 300
Machine hours 1,800 4,200
Setups 60 60
Rework orders 160 140
Purchase orders 300 150
Required:
1.

Determine departmental overhead rates and compute the overhead cost per unit for each product line. Base your overhead assignment for the components department on machine hours. Use welding hours to assign overhead costs to the finishing department. Assign costs to the support department based on number of purchase orders. (Round your intermediate calculations and per unit cost answers to 2 decimal places.)

2. Determine the total cost per unit for each product line if the direct labor and direct materials costs per unit are $250 for Model 145 and $180 for Model 212. (Round your intermediate calculations and cost per unit answers to 2 decimal places.)

3.

Assume if the market price for Model 145 is $820 and the market price for Model 212 is $480, determine the profit or loss per unit for each model. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)
