Trujillo Stereos manufactures two for $450 per speaker. The production cost computed per unit under traditional high fidelity speaker models: the Sonic which sells for $500 per speaker, and the Boom which sells costing for each model in 20"13 was as follows:
| Â |
Sonic |
Boom |
|
Direct materials |
$150 |
$140 |
|
Direct labor ($20 per hour) |
80 |
60 |
|
Manufacturing overhead ($30 per DLH) |
120 |
90 |
|
Total |
$350 |
$290 |
In 2013, Trujillo manufactured 80,000 units of the Sonic and 60,000 units of the Boom. The overhead rate of $30 per direct labor hour was determined by dividing total expected manufacturing overhead of $ 15,000,000 by the total direct labor hours (500,000) for the two models.
under traditional costing, the gross profit on the models was: Sonic $150 ($500 - $350i and BOOM $160 ($450 - $290). Because of this difference, management is considering phasing out the Sonic model and increasing the production of the Boom model.
Before finalizing its decision, management asks the controller of Trujillo to prepare an analysis using activity-based costing (ABC). The controller accumulates the following information about overhead for the year ended December 3"1, 2013.

Instructions
Assign the total 2013 manufacturing overhead costs to the two products using activity-based costing (ABC).
What was the cost per unit and gross profit of each model using ABC costing?
Are management"s future plans for the two models sound?
