Howrley-David, Inc., manufactures two models of motorcycles: the Fatboy and the Screamer. Both models are assembled in the same plant and require the same assembling operations. The difference between the models is the cost of materials. The following data are available for August: Fatboy Screamer Total Number of units assembled 2,000 4,000 6,000 Materials cost per unit $ 2,000 $ 3,000 Other costs: Direct labor $ 6,000,000 Indirect materials 1,800,000 Other overhead 4,200,000
Howrley-David uses operations costing and assigns conversion costs based on the number of units assembled. Compute the cost of each model assembled in August.

The cost of each model assembled in August is $4,000 for Fatboy and $5,000 for Screamer.

Data and Calculations:

                                                       Fatboy            Screamer   Total

Total Number of units assembled 2,000               4,000      6,000

Materials cost per unit                $ 2,000            $ 3,000

Total materials costs           $4,000,000    $12,000,000

Conversion costs:

Direct labor =                      $ 6,000,000

Indirect materials =              $1,800,000

Other overhead =               $4,200,000

Total conversion costs = $12,000,000

The conversion costs per unit = $2,000 ($12,000,000/6,000).

                                                       Fatboy            Screamer

Materials cost per unit                $ 2,000            $ 3,000

Conversion costs per unit          $ 2,000            $ 2,000

Total costs per unit                     $4,000             $5,000

Thus, the cost of each model assembled in August is $4,000 for Fatboy and $5,000 for Screamer.
