Question:
Kima Company manufactures and sells 2 models of a home appliance. The Standard model is a basic appliance with mostly manual features, while the Galaxy model is highly automated. The appliances are produced to order, and there are no inventories at the end of the year. The cost accounting system at Kima allocates overhead to products based on direct labor cost. Overhead in year 1, which just ended, was $3,345,000. Other data for year 1 for the two products follow:
| Standard Model | Galaxy Model | |
| (20,000 units) | (3,000 units) | |
| Sales revenue | $6,100,000 | $2,800,000 |
| Direct materials | 2,500,000 | 400,000 |
| Direct labor | 1,700,000 | 530,000 |
Required:
a. Compute product line profits/loss for the Standard model and the Galaxy model for year 1. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)
Allocating Overhead
When computing a product line's profitability, the company must first understand how to allocate overhead costs to each product. A typical method is to base the allocation on direct labor cost. In this method, overhead costs are allocated based on direct labor cost per unit.
