3. a. Mono-relay Bi-relay

Activity Amount Activity Amount

Maintaining parts inven-

tory, at $800 per part

type... 75 $ 60,000 150 $120,000

Processing purchase or-

ders, at $90 per order... 800 72,000 200 18,000

Quality control, at $40 per

test ... 2,500 100,000 3,250 130,000

Machine related, at $50

per machine-hour ... 4,000 200,000 6,000 300,000

Total manufacturing over-

head cost... $432,000 $568,000

Manufacturing overhead cost per unit of each product:

Mono-relay: $432,000 ÷ 40,000 units = $10.80 per unit

Bi-relay: $568,000 ÷ 10,000 units = $56.80 per unit

b. Using activity-based costing, the unit product cost of each product

would be:

Mono-relay Bi-relay

Direct materials ... $35.00 $ 48.00

Direct labor ... 9.00 12.00

Manufacturing overhead (above).... 10.80 56.80

Total unit product cost ... $54.80 $116.80
