Refer to Short Exercise S19-8. Spectrum Corp. desires a 25% target gross profit after covering all product costs. Considering the total product costs assigned to the Products C and D in Short Exercise S19-8, what would Spectrum have to charge the customer to achieve that gross profit? Round to two decimal places.

Eason Company manufactures wheel rims. The controller expects the following ABC allocation rates for 2018:

Activity Allocation Base Predetermined Overhead

Allocation Rate

Materials handling Number of parts $ 4.00 per part

Machine setup Number of setups 400.00 per setup

Insertion of parts Number of parts 26.00 per part

Finishing Number of finishing hours 90.00 per hour

Eason produces two wheel rim models: standard and deluxe. Expected data for 2018 are as follows:

Standard Deluxe

Parts per rim 4.0 7.0

Setups per 500 rims 18.0 18.0

Finishing hours per rim 1.0 5.5

Total direct hours per rim 5.0 6.0

The company expects to produce 500 units of each model during the year.

Requirements

2. Prior to 2018, Eason used a single plantwide overhead allocation rate system with direct labor hours as the allocation base. Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rate based on direct labor hours for 2018. Use this rate to determine the estimated indirect manufacturing cost per wheel rim for each model, to the nearest cent.

Bubba and Danny are college friends planning a skiing trip to Killington before the new year. They estimated the following for the trip:

Estimated Activity Allocation

Costs Allocation Base Bubba Danny

Food \( 400 Pounds of food eaten 24 26

Skiing 300 Number of lift tickets 2 0

Lodging 280 Number of nights 2 2

\) 980

Requirements

2. Danny does not like the idea of sharing the costs equally because he plans to stay in the room rather than ski. Danny suggests that each type of cost be allocated to each person based on the above-listed allocation bases. Using the activity allocation for each person, calculate the amount that each person would pay based on his own consumption of the activity.

Requirements

2. Suppose that pre-manufacturing activities, such as product design, were assigned to the standard bookcases at \(5 each and to the unfinished bookcases at \)3 each. Similar analyses were conducted of post-manufacturing activities such as distribution, marketing, and customer service. The post-manufacturing costs were \(20 per standard bookcase and \)18 per unfinished bookcase. Compute the full product costs per unit.
