Sheridan Publishing identified the following overhead activities, their respective costs, and their cost drivers to produce the three types of textbooks the company publishes.

Activity (Cost) Cost Driver Delux Moderate Economy
Machine maintenance ($330,000) machine hours 250 750 1,000
Setups ($630,000) setups 35 20 15
Packing ($166,000) cartons 10 30 60
Photo development ($574,000) pictures 4,400 2,400 1,400
Deluxe textbooks are made with the finest quality paper, six-color printing, and many photographs. Moderate texts are made with three colors and a few photographs spread throughout each chapter. Economy books are printed in black and white and include pictures only in chapter openings.

Required:

Sheridan currently allocates all overhead costs based on machine hours. The company produced the following number of books during the prior year:

Deluxe Moderate Economy
50,000 150,000 200,000
Determine the overhead cost per book for each book type.

Deluxe= $4.25 per book

Moderate= $4.25 per book

Economy= $4.25 per book

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Activity (Cost) Cost Driver Delux Moderate Economy

Machine maintenance ($330,000) machine hours 250 750 1,000

Setups ($630,000)

Packing ($166,000)

Photo development ($574,000)

First, we need to calculate the total overhead cost:

Total overhead= 330,000 + 630,000 + 166,000 + 574,000= 1,700,000

Now, we can calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate to allocate overhead to each book type.

The allocation base is machine-hours.

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 1,700,000/ 2,000= $850 per machine hour.

Now, we can allocate overhead to each book:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Deluxe= $850*250hours= $212,500

Moderate= $850*750hours= $637,500

Economy= $850*1,000= $850,000

Based on the number of units, we can calculate the unitary overhead:

Deluxe= $212,500/50,000= $4.25 per book

Moderate= $637,500/150,000= $4.25 per book

Economy= $850,000/200,000= $4.25 per book

you don't if you paid you paid. it's like if i bought a computer and used it then i say idon't want it anymore so im gonna return it. you can't. unlkess you have your reciept
