Kristopher Manufacturing produces two types
of entry doors: Deluxe and
Standard. The allocation basis for
support costs has been direct labor dollars.
For 2009, Kristopher compiled the following data for the two products:

Deluxe

Standard

50,000

400,000

Sales price per unit

Last year, Kristopher
purchased an expensive robotics system to allow for more decorative door
products in the deluxe product line. The
CFO suggested that an activity-based costing (ABC) analysis could be valuable
to help evaluate a product mix and promotion strategy for the next sales
campaign. She obtained the following ABC
information for 2009:

Activity

Cost Driver

Total

Deluxe

Standard

$500,000

# of setups

b. Using the
activity-based costing data presented above,

1. compute
