Question

Glassman Company Glassman Company produces two products: A andB.The company has three overhead functions that are required for both products. Below is production information for Products A and B:

Product	Prime Costs (Direct Materials + Direct Labor)	Direct Labor Hours	Overhead Function #1	Overhead Function #2	Overhead Function #3
A	$35	4 hrs	2 hrs	1 hr	6 hrs
B	$22	1.5 hr	1 hr	8 hrs	1 hr

The company produces 800 units of Product A and 8,000 units of Product B each period. The overhead functions have the following hourly costs: $$\begin{array} { | l | l | } \hline \text { Function } & \text { Haurly Rate } \ \hline 1 & \$ 10 \ \hline 2 & 7 \ \hline 4 & 18 \ \hline \end{array}$$ Refer to Glassman Company If total overhead is assigned to A and B on the basis of units produced,Product B will have an overhead cost per unit of A)$84.00.

To calculate the overhead cost per unit for Product B, we need to first calculate the total overhead cost for the company:

Total overhead cost = (hours worked on Function 1 × Hourly rate for Function 1) + (hours worked on Function 2 × Hourly rate for Function 2) + (hours worked on Function 4 × Hourly rate for Function 4)

Plugging in the numbers given:

Total overhead cost = (1,800 × 10) + (2,200 × 7) + (400 × 18)
Total overhead cost = 18,000 + 15,400 + 7,200
Total overhead cost = 40,600

Now we can calculate the overhead cost per unit for Product B:

Overhead cost per unit for Product B = (Total overhead cost / Total units produced)
Overhead cost per unit for Product B = (40,600 / 8,000)
Overhead cost per unit for Product B = $5.075

Therefore, the overhead cost per unit for Product B is $5.075, or $88.64 (rounded to the nearest cent). Therefore, the correct answer is B.
