19) Springfield Manufacturing produces electronic storage devices, and uses the following three-
part classification for its manufacturing costs: direct materials, direct manufacturing labor, and
indirect manufacturing costs. Total indirect manufacturing costs for January were $300 million,
and were allocated to each product on the basis of direct manufacturing labor costs of each line.
Summary data (in millions) for January for the most popular electronic storage device, the Big
Bertha, was:
Big Bertha
Direct manufacturing costs $9,000,000 Required:
Direct manufacturing labor costs $3,000,000
Indirect manufacturing costs $8,500,000 a.Compute the manufacturing cost per unit for
Units produced 40,000 each product produced in January.
b. Suppose production will be reduced to 30,000 units in February. Speculate as to whether the
unit costs in February will most likely be higher or lower than unit costs in January; it is not
necessary to calculate the exact February unit cost. Briefly explain your reasoning.
b. Unit costs should be higher in February if only 30,000 units are to be produced. Indirect
manufacturing costs most likely include both fixed and variable components. Since fewer units
are expected to be produced in February, total fixed costs will be spread over fewer units. This
will result in an increase in total cost per unit since variable costs per unit will most likely not
change with the decreased production.
