- 2) Minnesota Office Products (MOP) produces three different paper products at its Vaasa lumber plant: Supreme, Deluxe, and Regular. Each product has its own dedicated production line at the plant. It currently uses the following three-part classification for its manufacturing costs: direct materials, direct manufacturing labor, and manufacturing overhead costs. Total manufacturing overhead costs of the plant in July 2011 are $150 million ($15 million of which are fixed). This total amount is allocated to each product line on the basis of the direct manufacturing labor costs of each line. Summary data (in millions) for July 2011 are as follows: Supreme Deluxe Regular Direct material costs $ 89 $ 57 $ 60 Direct manufacturing labor costs $ 16 $ 26 $ 8 Manufacturing overhead costs $ 48 $ 78 $ 24 Units produced 125 150 140 a.

One of its products, which is used in the construction of industrial air conditioners, is known as D53. Data concerning this product are given below: Per Unit Data Selling price P150 Direct materials P26 Direct labor P3 P1 Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Variable seilling expense Fixed selling and administrative expense The above per unit data are based on annual production of 8,000 units of the component. Direct labor can be considered to be a variable cost. P17 P2 P18 The company has received a special, one-time-only order for 500 units of component D53. There would be no variable selling expense on this special order and the total fixed manufacturing overhead and fixed selling and administrative expenses of the company would not be affected by the order. 4) Assuming that ABC has excess capacity and can fill the order without cutting back on the production of any product, what is the minimum price per unit on…arrow_forward

In 2017, actual manufacturing overhead is $317,250. AP's simple costing system allocates manufacturing overhead to its three customers based on machine-hours and prices its contracts based on full costs. One of its customers has regularly complained of being charged noncompetitive prices, so AP's controller DrewBailey realizes that it is time to examine the consumption of overhead resources more closely. He knows that there are three main departments that consume overhead resources: design, production, and engineering. Interviews with the department personnel and examination of time records yield the following detailed information: Read the requirements2. Requirement 1.
