Dolan Products is a small, family-owned audio component manufacturer. Several years ago, the company decided to concentrate on only three models, which were sold under many brand names to electronic retailers and mass-market discount stores.

Year 1 Units produced and sold Sales price per unit Red 7,000 Yellow 11,000 Green 18,000 Total 36,000 $ 155 $ 125 $ 100 Direct materials cost per unit $ 100 $ 90 $ 70 Direct labor-hours per unit 2 1 Wage rate per hour $ 14 $ 14 0.3 $ 14 Total manufacturing overhead $ 577,600 This year (year 2), the company only produced the Yellow and Green models. Total overhead was $426,400. All other volumes, unit prices, costs, and direct labor usage were the same as in year 1.
