2. Lennox Industries manufactures two products: A and B. Areview of the company's accounting records revealed the followingper-unit costs and the current production volumes: A B Productionvolume (units) 2,500 5,000 Direct material $ 40 $ 60 Direct labor:2 hours @ $12 per hour 24 3 hours @ $12 per hour 36 Manufacturingoverhead: 2 hours at $93 per DL hour 186 3 hours at $93 per DL hour279 Manufacturing overhead is currently computed by spreadingoverhead of $1,860,000 over 20,000 direct labor hours. Managementis considering a shift to activity-based costing in an effort toimprove the firm's accounting procedures, and the following dataare available that can be used for an Activity Based Costingsystem. All the overhead costs can be divided into three cost poolsand the budgeted costs and the associated cost driver that can beused to apply the costs to the products are shown below.

Required: A. Compute the per-unit cost andselling price of product B by using Lennox's current costingprocedures. (4 points) B. Compute the per-unit overhead cost ofproduct B if the company switches to activity-based costing. (3points) C. Compute the total per-unit cost and selling price forproduct B under activity-based costing. (3 points) D. Lennox hasrecently encountered significant international competition forproduct B, with considerable business being lost to very aggressivesuppliers. Will activity-based costing allow the company to be morecompetitive with product B from a price perspective? Brieflyexplain. ( 2.5 points) E. Will the cost and selling price ofproduct A likely increase or decrease if Lennox changes toactivity-based costing? Why? Hint: No calculations are necessary.(2 points)

Younan Corporation manufactures two products: Product E47F andProduct D02M. The company is considering implementing anactivity-based costing (ABC) system that allocates itsmanufacturing overhead to four cost pools. The following additionalinformation is available for the company as a whole and forProducts E47F and D02M.

Tomasini Corporation has provided the following data from itsactivity-based costing accounting system:

Supervisory wages $ 660,000
Factory supplies $ 280,000

Distribution of Resource Consumption across Activity CostPools:

Activity Cost Pools BatchProcessing Unit Processing Other Total
Supervisory wages 20% 70% 10% 100%
Factory supplies 45% 35% 20% 100%

The "Other" activity cost pool consists of the costs of idlecapacity and organization-sustaining costs that are not assigned toproducts.

Addleman Corporation has an activity-based costing system withthree activity cost pools--Processing, Supervising, and Other. Inthe first stage allocations, costs in the two overhead accounts,equipment expense and indirect labor, are allocated to the threeactivity cost pools based on resource consumption. Data used in thefirst stage allocations follow:

Overhead costs:
Equipment expense $ 73,000
Indirect labor $ 1,000

Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activity CostPools:

Activity Cost Pools
Processing Supervising Other
Equipment expense 0.20 0.10 0.70
Indirect labor 0.20 0.20 0.60

Processing costs are assigned to products using machine-hours(MHs) and Supervising costs are assigned to products using thenumber of batches. The costs in the Other activity cost pool arenot assigned to products. Activity data for the company's twoproducts follow:

Activity:

MHs(Processing) Batches(Supervising)
Product W3 7,600 100
Product H3 2,400 900
