2) Riha Manufacturing Corporation has a traditional costing system in which it applies
manufacturing overhead to its products using a predetermined overhead rate based on
direct labor-hours (DLHs). The company has two products, Y47R and G13V, about
which it has provided the following data:
The company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $1,879,960 and
the company's estimated total direct labor-hours for the year is 43,000.
The company is considering using a variation of activity-based costing to determine its
unit product costs for external reports. Data for this proposed activity-based costing
system appear below:
Required:
a. Determine the unit product cost of each of the company's two products under the
traditional costing system.
b. Determine the unit product cost of each of the company's two products under
activity-based costing system.
