Question

Xander blue rugs are very popular and demand is high, but because of capacity constraints the firm will produce only 190,000 blue rugs per year. The budgeted selling price is $1,900 each. There are no rugs in beginning inventory. Target ending inventory of rugs is also zero. Xander makes rugs by hand, but uses a machine to dye the wool. Thus, overhead costs are accumulated in two cost pools--one for weaving and the other for dyeing. Weaving overhead is allocated to products based on direct manufacturing labor-hours (DMLH). Dyeing overhead is allocated to products based on machine-hours (MH)
