Smithson Company

Smithson Company produces two products (A and B). Direct material and labor costs for Product A total
$35 (which reflects 4 direct labor hours); direct material and labor costs for Product B total $22 (which
reflects 1.5 direct labor hours). Three overhead functions are needed for each product. Product A uses 2
hours of Function 1 at $10 per hour, 1 hour of Function 2 at $7 per hour, and 6 hours of Function 3 at $18
per hour. Product B uses 1, 8, and 1 hours of Functions 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Smithson produces 800
units of A and 8,000 units of B each period.

Phelps Company

Phelps Company produces 50,000 units of Product Q and 6,000 units of Product Z during a period. In that
period, four set-ups were required for color changes. All units of Product Q are black, which is the color
in the process at the beginning of the period. A set-up was made for 1,000 blue units of Product Z; a set-
up was made for 4,500 red units of Product Z; a set-up was made for 500 green units of Product Z. A set-
up was then made to return the process to its standard black coloration and the units of Product Q were
run. Each set-up costs $500.
