Pacifica Industrial Products Corporation makes two products, Product H and Product L. Product H is expected to sell 40,000 units next year and Product L is expected to sell 8,000 units. A unit of either product requires 0.4 direct labor-hours. The company's total manufacturing overhead for the year is expected to be $1,632,000.
Required:
1-a. The company currently applies manufacturing overhead to products using direct labor-hours as the allocation base. If this method is followed, how much overhead cost per unit would be applied to each product? Product H Product L Overhead cost per unit
1-b. Compute the total amount of overhead cost that would be applied to each product Product H Product L Total Total overhead cost
2. Management is considering an activity-based costing system and would like to know what impact this change might have on product costs. For purposes of discussion, it has been suggested that all of the manufacturing overhead be treated as a product-level cost. The total manufacturing overhead would be divided in half between the two products, with $816,000 assigned to Product H and $816,000 assigned to Product L If this suggestion is followed, how much overhead cost per unit would be assigned to each product? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Product H Product L
Overhead cost per unit

1a. Product H $16,000

Product L $3,200

1b. Product H $1,360,000

Product L $272,000

Total $1,632,000

2. Product H $20.40

Product L $102.00

Explanation:

1-a. Calculation for how much overhead cost per unit would be applied to each product

Product H Product L

Number of units produced 40,000 8,000( a)

Direct labor-hours per unit (b) 0.40 0.40 (b)

(a) × (b)=Total direct labor-hours 16,000 3,200 Total =$19,200

Therefore Amount of hoverhead cost per unit applied to each product is :

Product H $16,000

Product L $3,200

1-b. Computation for the total amount of overhead cost that would be applied to each product

Product H Product L Total

Manufacturing overhead applied per unit

0.40 DLH per unit × $85.00 per DLH= $34.00 (a)

Number of units produced 40,000 8,000 (b)

(a) × (b)=Total manufacturing overhead applied $1,360,000 $272,000

Total=Product H $1,360,000+Product L $272,000

Total= $1,632,000

Predetermined overhead rate of $ 85.00 per DLH is calculated as:

Total manufacturing overhead $ 1,632,000(a)

Total direct labor-hours 19,200 DLHs(b)

(a) ÷ (b) =Predetermined overhead rate $ 85.00 per DLH

Therefore the total amount of overhead cost that would be applied to each product is :

Product H $1,360,000

Product L $272,000

Total $1,632,000

C. Calculation for how much overhead cost per unit would be assigned to each product

Product H Product L Total

Total manufacturing overhead assigned (a)

$816,000 $816,000 =$1,632,000

Number of units produced (b) 40,000 8,000

(a) ÷ (b) =Manufacturing overhead per unit $20.40 $102.00

Therefore the amount of overhead cost per unit would be assigned to each product is :

Product H $20.40

Product L -$102.00

e would be the answer
