question 134

Essay

Conform Foam Products produces different kinds of industrial packing materials, all in one manufacturing facility. They have identified four activities for their costing system:
Materials management-allocated by number of purchase orders
Chemical processing-allocated on metric tons
Molding-allocated on direct labor hours
Packaging-allocated by number of units produced
The activity rates are as follows:
$\begin{array}{ll}\text { Materials management } & \$ 10.00 \mathrm{Per} \text { purchase or der } \\\text { Chemical processing } & 6.50 \mathrm{Per} \text { metric ton } \\\text { Molding } & 23.50 \mathrm{Per} \text { direct labor hour } \\\text { Packaging } & 0.25 \mathrm{Per} \text { unit }\end{array}$
Engineering design shows that the order will require direct materials of $775, direct labor cost of $125, 5 purchase orders, 6 metric tons of chemical base, and 12 direct labor hours. The size of the order to produce is 5,000 units of product.
Required:
(1) Calculate the overhead cost of the order.
(2) Calculate total cost of the order.
