Designer Software uses a job order cost system to accumulate costs associated with each software title. Direct materials unit costs are as follows: Blank CD $0.60 Packaging $1.00 Manual $6.40 The actual production process for the software product is fairly straightforward. First, blank CDs are brought to a CD copying machine. The copying machine requires one hour per 2,500 CDs. After the program is copied onto the CD, the CD is brought to assembly, where assembly personnel pack the CD and manual for shipping. The direct labor cost for this work is $0.60 per unit. The complete packages are then sold to retail outlets through a sales force. The sales force is compensated by a 20% commission on the wholesale price for all sales. Total completed production was 250,000 units during the year. Other information is as follows: Number of software units sold in 2012 200,000 Wholesale price per unit $50 Factory overhead cost is applied to jobs at the rate of $3,000 per copy machine hour after the program is copied to the CDs. There were an additional 10,000 copied CDs which already had the manual and packaging (in other words, all materials were used) but were waiting to actually be packaged as of December 31, 2012.
