139. Adams Company has two products: A and B. The annual production and sales of Product
A is 500 units and of Product B is 900 units. The company has traditionally used direct labor–
hours (DLHs) as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A
requires 0.4 direct labor-hours per unit and Product B requires 0.5 direct labor-hours per unit.
The total estimated overhead for next period is $67,522.
The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of
computing unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based costing system would
have three overhead activity cost pools-Activity 1, Activity 2, and General Factory-with estimated
overhead costs and expected activity as follows:
Expected Activity
Activity Cost Pools Estimated Overhead Costs Product A Product B
Total
Activity 1 $6,915 300 200 500
Activity 2 24,948 2,100 700 2,800
General Factory 35,659 200 450 650
Total $67,522
(Note: The General Factory activity cost pool’s costs are allocated on the basis of direct labor–
hours.)
The overhead cost per unit of Product A under the activity-based costing system is closest to:
3-265
