Question
Cosgrove Company manufactures two products, Product K-7 and Product L-15. Product L-15 is of fairly recent origin, having been developed as an attempt to enter a market closely related to that of Product K-7. Product L-15 is the more complex of the two products, requiring 3 hours of direct labor time per unit to manufacture compared to 2 hour of direct labor time for Product K-7. Product L-15 is produced on an automated production line.
Overhead currently is applied to the products on the basis of direct labor-hours. The company estimated it would incur $1,139,421 in manufacturing overhead costs and produce 15,000 units of Product L-15 and 75,000 units of Product K- 7 during the current year.
Compute the predetermined overhead rate under the current method of allocation and. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
.
Determine the unit product cost of each product for the current year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
The company is considering the use of activity-based costing as an alternative to its traditional costing method for manufacturing overhead. Data relating to the company's activity cost pools for the current year are given below:
Total Activity
Using the data above and an activity-based costing approach, determine the unit product cost of each product for the current year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Unit costs for materials and labor are:Explanation / Answer
total direct labor hours
Predetermined overhead rate = manutcturing overhead/ total direct labor hrs
= $1,139,421/ 195,000 hrs
