.                  Kristopher Manufacturing produces two types of entry doors:  Deluxe and Standard.  The allocation basis for support costs has been direct labor dollars.  For 2009, Kristopher compiled the following data for the two products:

   

Deluxe

 

Standard

         
Sales in units  

50,000

 

400,000

         
Sales price per unit  

$650

 

$475

Direct material and labor costs per unit  

$180

 

$130

Manufacturing overhead costs per unit  

$80

 

$120

 

Last year, Kristopher purchased an expensive robotics system to allow for more decorative door products in the deluxe product line.  The CFO suggested that an activity-based costing (ABC) analysis could be valuable to help evaluate a product mix and promotion strategy for the next sales campaign.  She obtained the following ABC information for 2009:

 

Activity

 

Cost

 

Cost Driver

 

Total

 

Deluxe

 

Standard

                     
Setups  

$500,000

  # of setups  

500

 

400

 

100

Machine-related  

$44,000,000

  # of machine hours  

600,000

 

300,000

 

300,000

Packing  

$5,000,000

  # of shipments  

250,000

 

50,000

 

200,000

 

            Required (15 points):

 

a.       Using the current system, what is the estimated

1.      total cost of manufacturing one unit for each type of door?

 

 

2.      profit per unit for each type of door?

 

b.      Using the activity-based costing data presented above,

1.      compute the cost-driver rate for each overhead activity.

 

2.      compute the revised manufacturing overhead cost per unit for each type of entry door.

 

3.      compute the revised total cost to manufacture one unit of each type of entry door.

 

 

            4.      compute the profit per unit for each type of door.

 

 

c.       Is the deluxe door as profitable as the original data estimated?  Why or why not?
