2. Spiro Company produces commercial gardening equipment. Since production is highly automated, the company allocates its overhead costs to product lines using activity-based costing. The costs and cost drivers associated with the four overhead activity cost pools follow.

                                                         Activities

                         Unit Level                       Batch Level                   Product Level           Facility Level

Cost                $57,200                              $17,860                $12,000                         $221,000

Cost driver         2,600 labor hrs.                  38 setups               Percentage of use                  17,000 units

Production of 730 sets of cutting shears, one of the company's 20 products, took 210 labor hours and 10 setups and consumed 10 percent of the product-sustaining activities.

Required:

a. Had the company used labor hours as a companywide allocation base, how much overhead would it have allocated to the cutting shears? (Round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)

b. How much overhead is allocated to the cutting shears using activity-based costing? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.)

Allocated cost

c. Compute the overhead cost per unit for cutting shears first using activity-based costing and then using direct labor hours for allocation if 730 units are produced. If direct product costs are $190 and the product is priced at 35 percent above cost, for what price would the product sell under each allocation system? (Round intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.
