(a) Determine the total and per-unit costs of manufacturing the Gas Cooker and Charcoal Smoker for the month, assuming all manufacturing overhead is assigned on the basis of direct labor dollars.

Gas Cooker:

total cost = $20,000 + $20,000 + $147,618 = $187,618

cost per unit = $187.62

Charcoal Smoker

total cost = $20,000 + $27,000 + $199,284 = $246,284

cost per unit = $61.57

(b) Determine the total and per-unit costs of manufacturing the Gas Cooker and Charcoal Smoker for the month, assuming manufacturing overhead is assigned using activity-based costing.

Gas Cooker:

total cost = $20,000 + $20,000 + $48,000 + $13,520 + $36,000 = $137,520

cost per unit = $137.52

Charcoal Smoker

total cost = $100,000 + $27,000 + $240,000 + $3,380 + $6,000 = $376,380

cost per unit = $94.10
