Tribute Inc. makes two styles of trophies, basic and deluxe, and operates at capacity. Tribute does large custom orders.
Requirements 1. Calculate the budgeted unit cost of basic and deluxe trophies based on a single plantwide overhead rate, if total overhead is allocated based on total direct costs. (Don't forget to include direct material and direct manufacturing labor cost in your unit cost calculation.) 2. Calculate the budgeted unit cost of basic and deluxe trophies based on departmental overhead rates, where forming department overhead costs are allocated based on direct manufacturing labor costs of the forming department and assembly department overhead costs are allocated based on total direct manufacturing labor costs of the assembly department. 3. Calculate the budgeted unit cost of basic and deluxe trophies if Tribute allocates overhead costs in each department using activity-based costing, where setup costs are allocated based on number of batches and general overhead costs for each department are allocated based on direct manufacturing labor costs of each department. 4. Explain briefly why plantwide, department, and activity-based costing systems show different costs for the basic and deluxe trophies. Which system would you recommend and why?
