Number of machine hours 1,400 1,400 2,800

Required:

1.  Suppose Keller uses a traditional costing system with machine hours as the cost driver. Determine the amount of overhead assigned to each product line. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

2. Calculate the production cost per unit for each of Keller's products under a traditional costing system. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

3. Calculate Keller's gross margin per unit for each product under the traditional costing system. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

4. Select the appropriate cost driver for each cost pool and calculate the activity rates if Keller wanted to implement an ABC system. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

5. Assuming an ABC system, assign overhead costs to each product based on activity demands.(Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
