Woodland Industries manufactures and sells custom-made windows. Its job costing system was designed using an activity-based costing approach. Direct materials and direct labor costs are accumulated separately, along with information concerning three manufacturing overhead cost drivers (activities). Assume that the direct labor rate is $12 per hour and that there were no beginning inventories. The following information was available for 2016, based on an expected production level of 48,800 units for the year, which will require 228,000 direct labor hours:
Activity Cost Driver
Budgeted Costs for 2016
Cost Driver Used as Allocation Base
Cost Allocation Rate
Materials handling
$
52,440
Number of parts used
$
0.23
per part
Cutting and lathe work
2,911,560
Number of parts used
12.77
per part
Assembly and inspection
3,853,200
Direct labor hours
16.90
per hour
The following production, costs, and activities occurred during the month of July:
Units Produced
Direct Materials Costs
Number of Parts Used
Direct Labor Hours
3,010
$101,100
2,023
13,100
a. Calculate the total manufacturing costs and the cost per unit of the windows produced during the month of July (using the activity-based costing approach). (Round "Cost per unit produced" to 2 decimal places.)
Total manufacturing cost
Cost per unit produced
b. Assume instead that Woodland Industries applies manufacturing overhead on a direct labor hours basis (rather than using the activity-based costing system previously described). Calculate the total manufacturing cost and the cost per unit of the windows produced during the month of July. (Hint: You will need to calculate the predetermined overhead application rate using the total budgeted overhead costs for 2016.) (Round "Cost per unit produced" to 2 decimal places.)
Total manufacturing cost
Cost per unit produced
