Review the Chapter 12 opening vignette on L A Darling Company

Review the Chapter 12 opening vignette on L.A. Darling Company (page 507 ). L.A. Darling
receives about $6 billion of revenue each year from designing, manufacturing, and installing
store fixtures in retail stores. Accounting for fixed manufacturing overhead is a challenge for the
company.
Suppose a manufacturing division of the company has the following budgeted costs for
production of 800,000 shelving units in 2012:
Direct materials ........... $160,000,000
Direct labor ............. 24,000,000
Other variable manufacturing costs .... 20,000,000
Fixed manufacturing costs ....... 100,000,000
Total manufacturing cost ....... $304,000,000

During 2012, this division of L.A. Darling produced 850,000 of the shelving units and sold
820,000 of them for $450 million. Assume that L.A. Darling does not allocate selling or
administrative costs to the individual products.

Variable manufacturing costs per unit ?
Fixed manufacturing costs per unit ?
