Question

Howrley-David, Inc., manufactures two models of motorcycles: the Fatboy and the Screamer. Both models are assembled in the same plant and require the same assembling operations. The difference between the models is the cost of materials. The following data are available for August: Fatboy Screamer Total Number of units assembled 990 1,980 2,970 Materials cost per unit $ 2,600 $ 3,600 Other costs: Direct labor $ 3,207,600 Indirect materials 534,600 Other overhead 1,603,800 Required: Howrley-David uses operations costing and assigns conversion costs based on the number of units assembled. Compute the cost of each model assembled in August.

Answer 1

Cost per Unit Fatboy= $ 27800

Screamer Cost per unit = $3779.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Howrley-David, Inc.

Fatboy Screamer Total

Units Assembled 990 1,980 2,970

Materials cost per unit $ 2,600 $ 3,600

Material Costs 2574000 7128000

Other costs:

Direct labor $1069200 2138400 $ 3,207,600

Indirect materials 534, 600

Other overhead 1,603,800

FoH 712800 1425600 2138400

Total Costs 2752,2000 7484000

No of units 990 1980

Cost per Unit 27800 3779.80

The total costs have been added and then divided with the number of units to get the cost per unit.

Direct Labor Costs =Total Direct Labor Costs/ Total number of units* required number of units

DLC for Fatboy= $ 3,207,600 /2970 *990= $1069200

DLC for Screamer= $ 3,207,600 /2970 *1980= 2138400

FActory Overheads = Total Factory Costs/ Total Units ( Required Units)

FOH for Fatboy= 534, 600 +1,603,800/2970 * 990= 712800

FOH for Screamer = 534, 600 +1,603,800/2970 * 1980= 1425600
