Question

Schultz Electronics manufactures two large-screen television models: the Royale which sells for $1,582, and a new model, the Majestic, which sells for $1,320. The production cost computed per unit under traditional costing for each model in 2014 was as follows.

Traditional Costing Royale Majestic Direct materials $670 $410 Direct labor ($20 per hour) 120 100 Manufacturing overhead ($42 per DLH) 252 210 Total per unit cost $1,042 $720
In 2014, Schultz manufactured 25,000 units of the Royale and 10,000 units of the Majestic. The overhead rate of $42 per direct labor hour was determined by dividing total expected manufacturing overhead of $8,357,440 by the total direct labor hours (200,000) for the two models.

Under traditional costing, the gross profit on the models was Royale $540 or ($1,582 Schultz Electronics manufactures two large-screen television models: the Royale which sells for $1,582, and a new model, the Majestic, which sells for $1,320.

The overhead rate of $42 per direct labor hour was determined by dividing total expected manufacturing overhead of $8,357,440 by the total direct labor hours (200,000) for the two models. Under traditional costing, the gross profit on the models was Royale $540 or ($1,582 - $1,042), and Majestic $600 or ($1,320 - $720). Because of this difference, management is considering phasing out the Royale model and increasing the production of the Majestic model. Before finalizing its decision, management asks Schultz's controller to prepare an analysis using activity-based costing (ABC). The controller accumulates the following information about overhead for the year ended December 31, 2014.
