Degree of operating leverage (a):4.8 Percent increase in unit sales (b): 5% Estimated percent increase in net operating income (a) × (b): 24% A 5% increase in unit sales should result in a 24% increase in net operating income, computed as follows:

Osborn Manufacturing uses a predetermined overhead rate of $18.20 per direct labor-hour. This predetermined rate was based on a cost formula that estimates $218,400 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 12,000 direct labor-hours. The company actually incurred $215,000 of manufacturing overhead and 11,500 direct labor-hours during the period. 1. Determine the amount of underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the period. 2. Assume that the company's underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed to Cost of Goods Sold. Would the journal entry to dispose of the underapplied or overapplied overhead increase or decrease the company's gross margin? By how much?

1. Manufacturing overhead incurred (a): $215,000 Actual direct labor-hours: 11,500 × Predetermined overhead rate: $ 18.20 Manufacturing Overhead Applied (b): $209,300 Manufacturing overhead underapplied (a) - (b): $5,700 -------- 2. Because manufacturing overhead is underapplied, the journal entry would increase cost of goods sold by $5,700 and the gross margin would decrease by $5,700.

What is the incremental manufacturing cost incurred if the company increases production from 20,000 to 20,001 units? 2. What is the incremental cost incurred if the company increases production and sales from 20,000 to 20,001 units? 3. Assume that Kubin Company produced 20,000 units and expects to sell 19,800 of them. If a new customer unexpectedly emerges and expresses interest in buying the 200 extra units that have been produced by the company and that would otherwise remain unsold, what is the incremental manufacturing cost per unit incurred to sell these units to the customer?

1. What is the incremental manufacturing cost incurred if the company increases production from 20,000 to 20,001 units? 7 + 4 + 1.50 = $12.50 2. What is the incremental cost incurred if the company increases production and sales from 20,000 to 20,001 units? 7 + 4 + 1.50 + 1 + 0.50 = $14 3. Because the 200 units to be sold to the new customer have already been produced, the incremental manufacturing cost per unit is zero. The variable manufacturing costs incurred to make these units have already been incurred and, as such, are sunk costs

Kubin Company's relevant range of production is 18,000 to 22,000 units. When it produces and sells 20,000 units, its average costs per unit are as follows: Average Cost per Unit Direct materials . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $7.00 Direct labor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $4.00 Variable manufacturing overhead . . . . . . . . . $1.50 Fixed manufacturing overhead . . . . . . . . . . . $5.00 Fixed selling expense . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $3.50 Fixed administrative expense . . . . . . . . . . . . $2.50 Sales commissions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $1.00 Variable administrative expense . . . . . . . . . . $0.50 Assume the cost object is units of production: 3. Assume the cost object is the company's various sales representatives. Furthermore, assume that the company spent $50,000 of its total fixed selling expense on advertising and the remainder of the total fixed selling expense comprised the fixed portion of the company's sales representatives' compensation. a. When the company sells 20,000 units, what is the total direct selling expense that can be readily traced to individual sales representatives? b. When the company sells 20,000 units, what is the total indirect selling expense that cannot be readily traced to individual sales representatives? 4. Are Kubin's administrative expenses always going to be treated as indirect costs in its internal management reports?

3. a. ($3.50x 20,000) - $50.000 = $20,000 - Portion of sales rep. compensation ($1.00 x 20.000) = $20.00 - Sales commission --> Total direct selling expense = $40,000 b. Advertisement expense that is spent by the company will be considered as the total indirect selling expense because this is the only selling expense that cannot be easily traced to individual sales representatives. $50,000 of advertisement expense. 4. No. Kubin's administrative expenses could be direct or indirect depending on the cost object. For example, the chief financial officer's salary would be an indirect cost if the cost object is units of production; however, his salary would be a direct cost if the cost object is the Finance Department that he oversees.

The PC Works assembles custom computers from components supplied by various manufacturers. The company is very small and its assembly shop and retail sales store are housed in a single facility in a Redmond, Washington, industrial park. Listed below are some of the costs that the company incurs. For each cost, indicate whether it would most likely be classified as direct materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, selling, or an administrative cost. 1. The cost of a hard drive installed in a computer. 2. The cost of advertising in the Puget Sound Computer User newspaper. 3. The wages of employees who assemble computers from components. 4. Sales commissions paid to the company's salespeople. 5. The salary of the assembly shop's supervisor. 6. The salary of the company's accountant. 7. Depreciation on equipment used to test assembled computers before release to customers. 8. Rent on the facility in the industrial park.

Direct material: 1 The prime business of the company is to assemble the computer parts, and the cost of a hard drive, which is installed in the computer, is direct material cost. Direct labor: 3 Wages are related to employees who are involved in the assembly process, and thus, it is a direct labor cost. Manufacturing overhead: 5, 7, 8 Salary is related indirectly to the assembly process; thus, it falls under the manufacturing overhead. Depreciation cannot be directly associated with any particular assembly process and is an indirect cost, i.e., manufacturing overhead. The facility is also used as the assembly shop, thus, it falls under manufacturing overhead. Selling cost: 2, 4, 8 The advertising cost is incurred to increase the sales and, thus, falls under selling expenses. The sales commission is paid on sales made by the salesperson; thus, it is related to selling expenses. The facility is utilized as an assembly shop and retail sales store; thus, a part of the facility cost comes under the selling cost. Administrative cost: 6, 8 The accounting process is the support activity, and cost related to accounting comes under the administrative cost. The facility is utilized as an assembly shop and retail sales store; thus, a part of the facility cost comes under the administrative overhead.

Global Explanation: Fixed cost remains the same for any changes in the level of production or sales, whereas variable cost increases with an increase in the level of output. Step 1: Fixed costs: $1,200 Total variable cost is calculated by multiplying the per unit variable cost with number of units. Variable Cost = Variable Cost per Unit × Number of Units For 2,000 Units = $0.22 × 2,000= $440 For 2,100 Units =$0.22 * $2100 = $462 For 2,200 Units = $0.22 * $2,200 = $684 ---------------- Total Cost: For 2,000 Units = $440 + 1,200: $1,640 For 2,100 Units = $462 + 1,200: $1,662 For 2,200 Units = $684 + 1,200: $1,684 ---------------- Average cost is calculated by dividing the total cost by the number of cups of coffee sold. Average Cost = Total Cost / Number of Units For 2,000 Units = $1,64 / 2,000 =$0.82 For 2,100 Units = $1,662 / 2,100= $0.79 For 2,200 Units = $1,684 / 2,200 = $0.77 --------------------- The average cost of a cup of coffee decreases as the number of cups of coffee served increases because the fixed cost is spread over more cups of coffee.

Molding Department: total manufacturing overhead cost = $700,000 + ($3.00 per MH)(20,000 MHs) = $760k The predetermined overhead rate is computed as follows: Estimated total manufacturing overhead (a): $760,000 Estimated total machine-hours (b): 20,000 MHs Predetermined overhead rate (a) ÷ (b): $38.00 per MH ---------- Fabrication Department: total manufacturing overhead cost = $210,000 + ($1.00 per MH)(30,000 MHs) = $240k The predetermined overhead rate is computed as follows: Estimated total manufacturing overhead (a): $240,000 Estimated total direct labor-hours (b): 30,000 MHs Predetermined overhead rate (a) ÷ (b): $8.00 per MH

Lin Corporation has a single product whose selling price is $120 per unit and whose variable expense is $80 per unit. The company's monthly fixed expense is $50,000. 2. Calculate the dollar sales needed to attain a target profit of $15,000.

Profit = Unit CM × Q − Fixed expenses $15,000 = ($120 − $80) × Q − $50,000 $15,000 = ($40) × Q − $50,000 $40 × Q = $15,000 + $50,000 Q = $65,000 ÷ $40 Q = 1,625 units Unit sales to attain the target profit (a): 1,625 Selling price per unit (b): $120 Dollar sales to attain target profit (a) × (b): $195,000

The operations vice president of Security Home Bank has been interested in investigating the efficiency of the bank's operations. She has been particularly concerned about the costs of handling routine transactions at the bank and would like to compare these costs at the bank's various branches. (1/2): If the branches with the most efficient operations can be identified, their methods can be studied and then replicated elsewhere. While the bank maintains meticulous records of wages and other costs, there has been no attempt thus far to show how those costs are related to the various services provided by the bank. The operations vice president has asked your help in conducting an activity-based costing study of bank operations. In particular, she would like to know the cost of opening an account, the cost of processing deposits and withdrawals, and the cost of processing other customer transactions. The Westfield branch of Security Home Bank has submitted the following cost data for last year: Teller wages . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $160,000 Assistant branch manager salary . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 75,000 Branch manager salary . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 80,000 Total . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $315,000 Virtually all other costs of the branch—rent, depreciation, utilities, and so on—are organizationsustaining costs that cannot be meaningfully assigned to individual customer transactions such as depositing checks. In addition to the cost data above, the employees of the Westfield branch have been interviewed concerning how their time was distributed last year across the activities included in the activity-based costing study. The results of those interviews appear below: Opening Accounts | Processing Deposits and Withdrawals | Processing Other Customer Transactions | Other Activities | Total Teller wages . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5% | 65% | 20% | 10% | 100% Assistant branch manager salary . . . . 15% | 5% | 30% | 50% | 100% Branch manager salary . . . . . . . . . . . . 5% | 0% | 10% | 85% | 100% Prepare the first-stage allocation for the activity-based costing study.

Moody Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates: (1/5): Machine-hours required to support estimated production . . . . . . . . . . . 100,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $650,000 Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour . . . . . . . . . . . . $3.00 5. If Moody hired you as a consultant to critique its pricing methodology, what would you say?

Possible critiques of Moody's pricing tactics include (1) relying on a plantwide overhead rate to allocate overhead costs to jobs may distort the cost base used for cost-plus pricing, (2) relying on an absorption approach may allocate unused capacity costs to jobs thereby distorting the cost base for cost-plus pricing (3) relying on absorption cost-plus pricing ignores the customers' willingness to pay based on their perceived value of the product or service.

Suppose that you have been given a summer job as an intern at Issac Aircams, a company that manufactures sophisticated spy cameras for remote-controlled military reconnaissance aircraft. The company, which is privately owned, has approached a bank for a loan to help finance its growth. The bank requires financial statements before approving the loan. Classify each cost listed below as either a product cost or a period cost for the purpose of preparing financial statements for the bank. 1. Depreciation on salespersons' cars. 2. Rent on equipment used in the factory 3. Lubricants used for machine maintenance. 4. Salaries of personnel who work in the finished goods warehouse. 5. Soap and paper towels used by factory workers at the end of a shift. 6. Factory supervisors' salaries. 7. Heat, water, and power consumed in the factory. 8. Materials used for boxing products for shipment overseas. (Units are not normally boxed.) 9. Advertising costs. 10. Workers' compensation insurance for factory employees. 11. Depreciation on chairs and tables in the factory lunchroom. 12. The wages of the receptionist in the administrative offices. 13. Cost of leasing the corporate jet used by the company's executives. 14. The cost of renting rooms at a Florida resort for the annual sales conference. 15. The cost of packaging the company's product.

Product cost: 10, 15, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 Product costs are expenses connected with manufacturing or purchase of a product. Direct materials, direct labor, manufacturing overheads such as depreciation on factory' assets, assembling, packaging, etc., are product costs. ------------------- Period cost: 1, 12, 13, 14, 4, 8, 9 Costs that are not required for manufacturing or purchasing a product are known as period costs, and they will be charged as expenses in the same period when they are incurred. Only the depreciation on fixed assets used in a factory is a manufacturing overhead; salesmen's cars are therefore a period cost. A warehouse is used to store finished goods and other inventory and is not required to manufacture a product; therefore, it is a period cost.

Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $15 per unit and whose variable expense is $12 per unit. The company's monthly fixed expense is $4,200. 3. If the company's fixed expenses increase by $600, what would become the new break-even point in unit sales? In dollar sales?

Profit = Unit CM × Q − Fixed expenses $0 = ($15 − $12) × Q − $4,800 $0 = ($3) × Q − $4,800 $3Q = $4,800 Q = $4,800 ÷ $3 Q = 1,600 baskets Unit sales to break even (a): 1,600 Selling price per unit (b): $15 Dollar sales to break even (a) × (b): $24,000

Lin Corporation has a single product whose selling price is $120 per unit and whose variable expense is $80 per unit. The company's monthly fixed expense is $50,000. 1. Calculate the unit sales needed to attain a target profit of $10,000.

Profit = Unit CM × Q − Fixed expenses $10,000 = ($120 − $80) × Q − $50,000 $10,000 = ($40) × Q − $50,000 $40 × Q = $10,000 + $50,000 Q = $60,000 ÷ $40 Q = 1,500 units

Sales ($30 per unit × 20,000 units): $600,000 Variable expenses: Cost of goods sold ($24,000 + $180,000 - $44,000): $160,000 (lhs) Selling expenses ($4 per unit × 20,000 units): 80,000 (lhs) Administrative expenses ($2 per unit × 20,000 units): 40,000 (lhs) 280,000(rhs) Contribution margin 320,000 (rhs) Fixed expenses: Selling expenses 40,000 (lhs) Administrative expenses 30,000(lhs) 70,000(rhs) Net operating income $250,000 (rhs)

Hiram's Lakeside is a popular restaurant located on Lake Washington in Seattle. The owner of the restaurant has been trying to better understand costs at the restaurant and has hired a student intern to conduct an activity-based costing study. The intern, in consultation with the owner, identified three major activities and then completed the first-stage allocations of costs to the activity cost pools. The results appear below Activity Cost Pool | Activity Measure | Total Cost | Total Activity Serving a party of diners . . . . . . . . . . Number of parties served | $33,000 | 6,000 parties Serving a diner . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Number of diners served | $138,000 | 15,000 diners Serving drinks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Number of drinks ordered | $24,000 | 10,000 drinks The above costs include all of the costs of the restaurant except for organization-sustaining costs such as rent, property taxes, and Page 339 top-management salaries. Some costs, such as the cost of cleaning the linens that cover the restaurant's tables, vary with the number of parties served. Other costs, such as washing plates and glasses, depend on the number of diners served or the number of drinks served. Prior to the activity-based costing study, the owner knew very little about the costs of the restaurant. She knew that the total cost for the month (including organization-sustaining costs) was $240,000 and that 15.000 diners had been served. Therefore, the average cost per diner was $16. 3. Why do the costs per diner for the three different parties differ from each other and from the overall average cost of $16 per diner?

The average cost per diner differs from party to party under the activity-based costing system for two reasons. First, the cost of serving a party ($5.50) does not depend on the number of diners in the party. Therefore, the average cost per diner of this activity decreases as the number of diners in the party increases. With only one diner, the cost is $5.50. With two diners, the average cost per diner is cut in half to $2.75. With five diners, the average cost per diner would be only $1.10, and so on. Second, the average cost per diner differs also because of the differences in the number of drinks ordered by the diners. If a party does not order any drinks, as was the case with the party of two, no costs of serving drinks are assigned to the party. The average cost per diner differs from the overall average cost of $16 per diner for several reasons. First, the average cost of $16 per diner includes organization-sustaining costs that are excluded from the computations in the activity-based costing system. Second, the $16 per diner figure does not recognize differences in the diners' demands on resources. It does not recognize that some diners order more drinks than others nor does it recognize the economies of scale in serving larger parties. (The batch-level costs of serving a party can be spread over more diners if the party is larger.) We should note that the activity-based costing system itself does not recognize all of the differences in diners' demands on resources. For example, there are undoubtedly differences in the costs of preparing the various meals on the menu. It may or may not be worth the effort to build a more detailed activity-based costing system that would take such nuances into account.

She knew that the total cost for the month (including organization-sustaining costs) was $240,000 and that 15.000 diners had been served. Therefore, the average cost per diner was $16. 2. Convert the total costs you computed in (1) above to costs per diner. In other words, what is the average cost per diner for serving each of the following parties? a) A party of four diners who order three drinks in total. b) A party of two diners who do not order any drinks. c) A party of one diner who orders two drinks.

The average cost per diner for each party can be computed by dividing the total cost of the party by the number of diners in the party as follows: a. $49.50 ÷ 4 diners = $12.375 per diner b. $23.90 ÷ 2 diners = $11.95 per diner c. $19.50 ÷ 1 diner = $19.50 per diner

Karlik Enterprises distributes a single product whose selling price is $24 per unit and whose variable expense is $18 per unit. The company's monthly fixed expense is $24,000 (2/2) Estimate the company's break-even point in units sales using your cost-volume-profit graph.

The break-even point is the point where the total sales revenue and the total expense lines intersect. Which means, when Profit = 0 Profit = Unit CM × Q − Fixed expenses = ($24 − $18) × 4,000 − $24,000 = $6 × 4,000 − $24,000 = $24,000 − $24,000 = $ 0 4,000 units is the break-even point

The Manager of the Westfield branch of Security Home Bank has provided the following data concerning the transactions of the branch during the past year: (1/2) Activity | Total Activity at the Westfield Branch Opening accounts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 500 new accounts opened Processing deposits and withdrawals . . . . . 100,000 deposits and withdrawals processed Processing other customer transactions . . . 5,000 other customer transactions processed The lowest costs reported by other branches for these activities are displayed below: Activity | Lowest Cost among All Security Home Bank Branches Opening accounts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $26.75 per new account Processing deposits and withdrawals . . . . . . . . . . . . $1.24 per deposit or withdrawal Processing other customer transactions . . . . . . . . . . $11.86 per other customer transaction 2. What do these results suggest to you concerning operations at the Westfield branch?

The cost of opening an account at the Westfield branch is much higher than at the lowest cost branch ($46.50 versus $26.75). On the other hand, the cost of processing deposits and withdrawals is lower than at the lowest cost branch ($1.08 versus $1.24). And the cost of processing other customer transactions is higher at the Westfield branch ($12.50 versus $11.86). The other branches may have something to learn from Westfield concerning processing deposits and withdrawals and Westfield may benefit from learning about how some of the other branches open accounts and process other transactions. It may be particularly instructive to compare the details of the activity rates. For example, is the cost of opening accounts at Westfield high because of the involvement of the assistant branch manager in this activity? Perhaps tellers open new accounts at other branches.

Kingsport Containers Company makes a single product that is subject to wide seasonal variations in demand. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes plantwide predetermined overhead rates on a quarterly basis using the number of units to be produced as the allocation base. Its estimated costs, by quarter, for the coming year are given below: (1/5) Quarter First | Second | Third | Fourth Direct materials . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $240,000 | $120,000 | $ 60,000 | $180,000 Direct labor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 128,000 | 64,000 | 32,000 | 96,000 Manufacturing overhead . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 300,000 | 220,000 | 180,000 | ?

Assuming the estimated variable manufacturing overhead cost per unit is $2.00, what must be the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead cost per quarter?

The estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead can be computed using the data from any of quarters 1-3. For illustrative purposes, we'll use the first quarter as follows: Total overhead cost (First quarter): $300,000 Variable cost element ($2.00 per unit × 80,000 units): 160,000 Fixed cost element: $140,000 Management finds the variation in quarterly unit product costs to be confusing. It has been suggested that the problem lies with manufacturing overhead because it is the largest element of total manufacturing cost. Accordingly, you have been asked to find a more appropriate way of assigning manufacturing overhead cost to units of product.

The fixed and variable cost estimates from requirement 1 can be used to estimate the total manufacturing overhead cost for the fourth quarter as follows: Y = $140,000 + ($2.00 per unit)(60,000 units) Estimated fixed manufacturing overhead: $140,000 Estimated variable manufacturing overhead $2.00 per unit × 60,000 units: 120,000 Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost: $260,000 ---------------- The estimated unit product cost for the fourth quarter is computed as follows: Direct materials: $180,000 Direct labor: 96,000 Manufacturing overhead: 260,000 Total manufacturing costs (a): $536,000 Number of units to be produced (b): 60,000 Unit product cost (rounded) (a) ÷ (b): $8.93

Kingsport Containers Company makes a single product that is subject to wide seasonal variations in demand. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes plantwide predetermined overhead rates on a quarterly basis using the number of units to be produced as the allocation base.

What is causing the estimated unit product cost to fluctuate from one quarter to the next?

The fixed portion of the manufacturing overhead cost is causing the unit product costs to fluctuate. The unit product cost increases as the level of production decreases because the fixed overhead is spread over fewer units.

What managerial insights are revealed by the computations that you performed in this problem? (Hint: Do the cost of goods sold amounts that you computed in requirements 1 and 2 differ from one another? Do the bid prices that you computed in requirements 1 and 2 differ from one another? Why?)

The plantwide and departmental approaches for applying manufacturing overhead costs to products produce identical cost of goods sold figures. However, these two approaches lead to different bid prices for Jobs D-70 and C-200. The bid price for Job D-70 using the departmental approach is $270,000 (= $2,460,000 ‒ $2,190,000) higher than the bid price using the plantwide approach. This is because the departmental cost pools reflect the fact that Job D-70 is an intensive user of Molding machine hours. The overhead rate in Molding ($38) is much higher than the overhead rate in Fabrication ($8). Conversely, Job C-200 is an intensive user of the less-expensive Fabrication machine-hours, so its departmental bid price is $270,000 lower than the plantwide bid price. Whether a job-order costing system relies on plantwide overhead cost allocation or departmental overhead cost allocation does not usually have an important impact on the accuracy of the cost of goods sold reported for the company as a whole. However, it can have a huge impact on internal decisions with respect to individual jobs, such as establishing bid prices for those jobs. Job order costing systems that rely on plantwide overhead cost allocation are commonly used to value ending inventories and cost of goods sold for external reporting purposes, but they can create costing inaccuracies for individual jobs that adversely influence internal decision making.

Assume Delph chooses to combine its departmental rates from requirement 1 into a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. a) Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate.

The plantwide overhead rate of $20.00 per machine-hour is calculated by combining the estimated manufacturing overhead costs computed in requirement 1a for Molding and Fabrication ($760,000 + $240,000 = $1,000,000) and then dividing by the estimated total machine-hours (20,000 + 30,000 = 50,000): Estimated total manufacturing overhead (a): $1,000,000 Estimated total machine-hours (MHs) (b): 50,000 MHs Predetermined overhead rate (a) ÷ (b): $20.00 per MH

How would you recommend stabilizing the company's unit product cost? Support your answer with computations.

The unit product cost can be stabilized by using a predetermined overhead rate that is based on expected activity for the entire year. The cost formula created in requirement 1 can be adapted to compute the annual predetermined overhead rate. The annual fixed manufacturing overhead is $560,000 ($140,000 per quarter × 4 quarters). The variable manufacturing overhead per unit is $2.00. The cost formula is as follows: = $560,000 + ($2.00 per unit × 200,000 units) Estimated fixed manufacturing overhead: $560,000 Estimated variable manufacturing overhead $2.00 per unit × 200,000 units: 400,000 Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost: $960,000 Estimated total manufacturing overhead (a): $960,000 Estimated total units produced (b): 200,000 Predetermined overhead rate (a) ÷ (b): $4.80 per unit --------------- Using a predetermined overhead rate of $4.80 per unit, the unit product costs would stabilize as shown below: Quarter First | Second | Third | Fourth Direct materials . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $240,000 | $120,000 | $ 60,000 | $180,000 Direct labor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 128,000 | 64,000 | 32,000 | 96,000 Manufacturing overhead at $4.80 per unit. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 384,000 | 192,000 | 96,000 | 288,000 Total manufacturing costs (a) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $752,000 | $376,000 | $188,000 | $ 564,000 Number of units to be produced (b) . . . . . . . . 80,000 | 40,000 | 20,000 | 60,000 Estimated unit product cost (a) ÷ (b) . . . . . . . . $9.40 | $9.40 | $9.40 | 9.40
