Last year, Kristopher purchased an expensive robotics system to allow for more decorative door products in the deluxe product line. The CFO suggested that an activity-based costing (ABC) analysis could be valuable to help evaluate a product mix and promotion strategy for the next sales campaign. She obtained the following ABC information for 2009:

Activity

Total

Standard

Required (15 points):

a. Using the current system, what is the estimated
1. total cost of manufacturing one unit for each type of door?


2. profit per unit for each type of door?

b. Using the activity-based costing data presented above,
1. compute the cost-driver rate for each overhead activity.

2. compute the revised manufacturing overhead cost per unit for each type of entry door.

3. compute the revised total cost to manufacture one unit of each type of entry door.









4. compute the profit per unit for each type of door.


c. Is the deluxe door as profitable as the original data estimated? Why or why not?
