Air United, Inc. manufactures two products: missile range instruments and space pressure gauges. During April, 50 range instruments and 300 pressure gauges were produced. Overhead costs of $94,500 were estimated and allocated to the following activities: Activities Cost Drivers Total Cost Materials handling Number of requisitions $40,000
Machine setups Number of setups 21,500
Quality inspection Number of inspections 33,000
$94,500 The cost driver volume for each product was as follows. Cost Drivers Instruments Gauges Total
Number of requisitions 400 600 1,000
Number of setups 200 300 500
Number of inspections 200 400 600 Instructions

(b) Assign the manufacturing overhead costs for April to the two products using activity-based costing, and calculate a per unit OH cost.

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the activity rates using the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Materials handling=  40,000 / 1,000= $40 per requisition

Machine setups= 21,500 /500= $43 per setup

Quality inspection=  33,000 / 600= $55 per inspections

Now, we can allocate overhead to each product:

Missile range instruments:

Materials handling=  40*400= $16,000

Machine setups= 43*200= $8,600

Quality inspection= 55*200= $11,000

Total allocated overhead= $35,600

Space pressure gauges:

Materials handling=  40*600= $24,000

Machine setups= 43*300= $12,900

Quality inspection= 55*400= $22,000

Total allocated overhead= $58,900

Finally, the unitary overhead cost:

Missile range instruments:

Unitary allocated overhead= 35,600/50= $712

Space pressure gauges:

Unitary allocated overhead= 58,900/300= $196.33

due to the changes the federal reserve is making the unused reserves will impact the economy by them facing inflation. inflation is definfed as the increase in pricing of a good or service but the decline of the value of money used for purchasing those items. when the economy has a high inflation rate, they are subject to money loss and hurt on the economy.
