The management of Holdaway Corporation would like to investigate the possibility of basing its predetermined overhead rate on activity at capacity. The company's controller has provided an example to illustrate how this new system would work. In this example, the allocation base is machine-hours and the estimated amount of the allocation base for the upcoming year is 71,100 machine-hours. Capacity is 80,100 machine-hours and the actual level of activity for the year is assumed to be 67,000 machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and both the estimated amount at the beginning of the year and the actual amount at the end of the year are assumed to be $5,701,518 per year. For simplicity, it is assumed that this is the estimated manufacturing overhead for the year as well as the manufacturing overhead at capacity. It is further assumed that this is also the actual amount of manufacturing overhead for the year.If the company bases its predetermined overhead rate on capacity, then the predetermined overhead rate is closest to:

Njombe Corporation manufactures a variety of products. In the past, Njombe has been using a traditional costing system in which the predetermined overhead rate was 150% of direct labor cost. Selling prices had been set by multiplying total product cost by 200%. Sensing that this system was distorting costs and selling prices, Njombe has decided to switch to an activity-based costing system for manufacturing overhead costs that uses the three activity cost pools listed below. Selling prices are still to be set at 200% of unit product cost under the new system. Information on these cost pools for next year are as follows: Information (on a per unit basis) related to three popular products at Njombe are as follows: Under the traditional costing system, what would be the selling price of one unit of Model #36?
