Problem A.
Wyoming Company manufactures radios in two different styles:
Radio Model Annual Sales in Units
Starry 10,000
Polka 16,000
Wyoming uses a traditional volume-based costing system in applying factory overhead using direct labor pesos. The unit prime costs of each product were as follows:
Starry Polka
Direct Materials
P38.00
P25.40
Direct labor:
1.2 x P14.60
17.52
0.9 x P14.60
13.14
The predetermined overhead rate was P350% (P1,349,040 ÷ 385,440) Direct labor budget per annual sales:
Starry radio
10,000 x P17.52
P175,200
Polka radio
16,000 x P13.14
210,240
Total
P385,440
Factory overhead:
Engineering and Design
P404,712
Quality control
269,808
Machinery
539,616
Miscellaneous Overhead
134,904
P1,349,040
Wyoming’s controller had been researching activity-based costing and decided to switch to it. A special study determined Wyoming’s two radio models were responsible for the following proportions of each cost driver:
Starry
Polka
40%
60%
45%
55%
35%
65%
Required. Compute the following:
PROBLEM B.
