Nadia Tamimi, controller for First-Aid-Care Company, has been instructed to develop a flexible budget for overhead costs. The company produces two types of bandages for hospitals: (1) Young-Ones, designed for children, and (2) Surga-Aid, designed for use on larger injuries. The two lines of bandages use common raw materials in different proportions. The company expects to produce 80,000 cartons of each product during the coming year. Young-Ones requires 0.20 direct labour hours per carton, and Surga-Aid requires 0.30 direct labour hours per carton. Nadia has developed the following fixed and variable costs for each of the four overhead items:

Required:
1. Calculate the total direct labour hours required for the production of 80,000 cartons of Young-Ones and 80,000 cartons of Surga-Aid.
2. Prepare an overhead budget for the expected activity level (calculated in Requirement 1) for the coming year.
