Question 59

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} { | l | r | r | } \hline & \text { Long } & \text { Short } \\\hline \text { Direct materials per unit } & \$ 14.20 & \$ 48.30 \\\hline \text { Direct labor per unit } & \$ 16.80 & \$ 50.40 \\\hline \text { Direct labor-hours per unit } & 0.80 & 2.40 \\\hline \text { Annual production } & 45,000 & 10,000 \\\hline\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:
