Ontario, Inc. manufactures two products, Standard and Enhanced, and applies overhead on the basis of direct-labor hours. Anticipated overhead and direct-labor time for the upcoming accounting period is $800,000 and 25,000 hours, respectively. Information about the company's products follows.
Standard: Enhanced: Estimated production volume
3,000 units 4,000 units Direct-material cost
$25 per unit $40 per unit Direct labor per unit
3 hours at $12 per hour 4 hours at $12 per hour Ontario's overhead of $800,000 can be identified with three major activities: order processing ($150,000), machine processing ($560,000), and product inspection ($90,000). These activities are driven by number of orders processed, machine hours worked, and inspection hours, respectively.
Data relevant to these activities follow:
Orders Processed Machine Hours Worked Inspection Hours Standard
300 18,000 2,000 Enhanced
200 22,000 8,000 Total
500 40,000 10,000 Top management is very concerned about declining profitability despite a healthy increase in sales volume. The decrease in income is especially puzzling because the company recently undertook a massive plant renovation during which new, highly automated machinery was installed machinery that was expected to produce significant operating efficiencies.
