Morello Sporting Goods Corporation makes two types of racquets, tennis and badminton. The company uses the same facility to make both products even though the processes are quiet different. The company has recently converted its cost accounting system to activity-based costing. The following are the cost data that June Searight, the cost, accountant, prepared for the third quarter of 2011 (during which Morello made 70,000 tennis racquets and 30,000 badminton racquets).
Direct Cost Tennis Racquet (TR) Badminton Racquet (BR)
Direct materials $18 per unit $14 per unit

Facility-level cost includes depreciation of all production equipment.
Required a. Compute the cost per unit for each product. b. If management wants to price badminton racquets 30 percent above cost, what price should the company set? c.
