Question
Cullumber Inc. manufactures and distributes three types of water skis: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Production is highly automated for the beginner model, whereas the intermediate and advanced models require increasing degrees of labour, depending on the shaping and finishing processes. Cullumber applies all indirect costs to production using a single predetermined overhead (OH) rate based on direct labour hours (DLH).

Management estimates that 30,600 DLH will be used in the upcoming year, at a rate of $14 per hour.

Assume that the following activity took place in the first month of the new year:

   
Beginner
 
Intermediate

Number of units produced
 
20,400
