AC556Week 1 ProblemABC CostingNOTE: It is expected that this problem will be completed using an Excel spreadsheetusing formulas. Please see the Excel Tutorial that is available under the course home tab.The new president of the Wernecke Company was stumped. Why had profits gone down?He had directed the sales department to push the product with the highest contributionmargin, and the sales department had come through with flying colors. The percent offlams sold had increased from 25% of units sold to 37.5% of units sold. So whathappened?Sales Price per UnitDirect Materials per UnitDirect Labor Cost per HourDirect Labor Hours per UnitNumber of Units Produced Flims$150$75$251 hour per unit25,000 Flams$500$200$255 hours per unit15,000 The variable overhead for the coming year is estimated to be $3,000,000.Required:1. Calculate the Wernecke Companyâs estimated direct labor hours to produce flimsand flams.2. Calculate the predetermined variable overhead rate that will be used in the comingyear using a traditional costing system based upon direct labor hours.3. Using a traditional costing system based upon direct labor hours, compute the unitproduct costs for flims and flams as well as contribution margin per unit.4. It has been suggested to the president to consider the use of an ABC costingsystem to allocate manufacturing overhead. Engineering studies have revealed thefollowing information about estimated manufacturing activities for the comingyear.Activity Cost PoolEstimated Overhead Expected ActivityCostLevelSetups$850,000200 setupsScrap$350,000500 unitsTesting$200,0005,000 testsMachine related$1,600,000100,000 MhrsTotal$3,000,000Calculate the separate predetermined overhead rates for each of the activitieslisted above. 5.
