Question 108

Multiple Choice

Upton Manufacturing Corporation has a traditional costing system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to its products using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours (DLHs) . The company has two products, Long and Short, about which it has provided the following data:
 Long Short  Direct materials per unit $14.20$48.30 Direct labor per unit $16.80$50.40 Direct labor-hours per unit 0.802.40 Annual production 45,00010,000\begin{array}{lrrr}&\text { Long }&\text {Short }\\\text { Direct materials per unit } & \$ 14.20& \$ 48.30 \\\text { Direct labor per unit } & \$ 16.80& \$ 50.40 \\\text { Direct labor-hours per unit } & 0.80 & 2.40 \\\text { Annual production } & 45,000 & 10,000\end{array}


The company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $3,170,400 and the company's estimated total direct labor-hours for the year is 60,000.
The company is considering using a variation of activity-based costing to determine its unit product costs for external reports. Data for this proposed activity-based costing system appear below:
 Estimated Overhead  Activities and Activity Measures  Cost  Direct labor support (DLHs)  $1,740,000 Setting up machines (setups)  422,400 Part administration (part types)  1,008,000 Total $3,170,400\begin{array}{lc}&\text { Estimated Overhead }\\\text { Activities and Activity Measures } & \text { Cost } \\\text { Direct labor support (DLHs) } & \$ 1,740,000 \\\text { Setting up machines (setups) } & 422,400 \\\text { Part administration (part types) } & 1,008,000 \\\text { Total }&\$3,170,400\end{array}
