Chapter 19: Q35PGA-2 (page 1077)
Question:Oscar, Inc. manufactures bookcases and uses an activity-based costing system. Oscar’s activity areas and related data follow:
Activity | Budgeted Cost of Activity | Allocation Base | Predetermined Overhead Allocation Rate |
Materials handling | \( 240,000 | Number of parts | \)1.00 |
Assembly | 3,500,000 | Number of assembling direct labor hours | 17.00 |
Finishing | 190,000 | Number of finished units* | 4.50 |
*Refers to number of units receiving the finishing activity, not the number of units transferred to Finished Goods Inventory
Oscar produced two styles of bookcases in October: the standard bookcase and an unfinished bookcase, which has fewer parts and requires no finishing. The totals for quantities, direct materials costs, and other data follow:
Product | Total Units Produced | Total Direct materials Costs | Total Direct Labor Costs | Total Number of Parts | Total Assembling Direct Labor Hours |
Standard bookcase | 7,000 | \(91,000 | \)105,000 | 28,000 | 10,500 |
Unfinished bookcase | 7,500 | 82,500 | 75,000 | 22,500 | 7,500 |
Requirements
2. Suppose that pre-manufacturing activities, such as product design, were assigned to the standard bookcases at \(5 each and to the unfinished bookcases at \)3 each. Similar analyses were conducted of post-manufacturing activities such as distribution, marketing, and customer service. The post-manufacturing costs were \(20 per standard bookcase and \)18 per unfinished bookcase. Compute the full product costs per unit.
Short Answer
Answer

For standard bookcase: $87
For unfinished bookcase: $61.93
