Wilkerson Case

Production runs is the cost driver for setup labor as set-ups, “had to be performed each time a batch of components had to be machined in a production run.” [1]Receiving and production control’s cost driver is number of production units as the company only had one production department, and this is where all products were assembled and finished. Engineering is straightforward. Its cost driver is hours of engineering work. Finally, Packaging and shipping’s cost driver is number of shipments and not units because the same amount of work was required not matter the number of items in a shipment. After using this data, I applied the direct labor per unit, and materials cost per units to allocate the Direct Labor and Materials Expenses.
