Under traditional costing, the gross profit on the models was:
Royale or ($1,600 - $1,048) and Majestic
$590 or ($1,300 - $710) Because of this difference, management
is considering phasing out the Royale model and increasing
theMajestic model.
Before finalizing its decision, management asks Jacobson'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, 2005.
In 2005, Jacobson manufactured units of the Royale and units of
the Majestic. The overhead
per direct labor hour was determined by dividing total expected
manufacturing overhead ofby the direct labor hours for the two
models.
