Reference no: EM1358664

Western Wood Product has two production departments: cutting and assembly. The company has been using a single predetermined cost driver rate based on plantwide direct labor hours. That is, the plantwide dividing plantwide cost driver rate is computed by dividing plantwide support costs by total plantwide direct labor hours. The estimates for support costs and quantities of cost drivers for 2006:

Manufacturing support: Cutting Assembly Total
Manufacturing support: $25,000 $33,000 $60,000
Direct labor hours 1,000 3,000 4,000
Machine hours 4,000 2,000 6,000
