: Wetz Manufacturing Corporation has a traditional costing system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to its products using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours (DLHs). The company has two products, Q30V and S33B, about which it has provided the following data:

Q30VS33B

Direct materials per unit.........................$ 34.10$52.70

Direct labor per unit..............................$16.10$39.19

Direct labor- hours per unit ....................$070$1.70

Annual production................................30,00010,000

The company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $1,527,600 and the company's estimated total direct labor-hours for the year is 38,000.

The company is considering using a variation of activity-based costing to determine its unit product costs for external reports. Data for this proposed activity-based costing system appear below:

Activities and Activity Measures ....................Estimated overhead Cost

Assembling products (DLHs)...........................$ 608,000

Preparing batches (batches)..........................................1976,00

Axial milling(MHs).......................................................722,000

Total......................................................................$1527,600
