Hartley company produces two products, flower and planter. flower is a high-volume item totaling 20,000 units annually. planter is a low-volume item totaling only 6,000 units per year. flower requires one hour of direct labor for completion, while each unit of planter requires 2 hours. therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 32,000 (20,000 + 12,000). expected annual manufacturing overhead costs are $960,000. hartley uses a traditional costing system and assigns overhead based on direct labor hours. each unit of planter would be assigned overhead of . $32 b. $53c. need more information to compute d. $26

Each unit of planter will be 60

Explanation:

Flowers have high volume item which totals 20,000 units annually

20,000 labor hours

Planter has low volume item totals only 6,000 units per year

So, 2 hours will be 12,000

Aggregate overhead cost amounts to $960,000

Overhead per labor hour = Aggregate overhead cost / annual direct labor hours

= $960,000 / 32,000

= 30

Therefore, each unit of planter overhead will be:

= Overhead per labor hour × 12,000 / Total units

= 30 × 12,000 / 6,000

= 360,000 / 6,000

= 60

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
