Addy Company makes two products: Product A and Product B. Annual production and sales are 1,700 units of Product A and 1,100 units of Product B. The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A requires 0.3 direct labor-hours per unit and Product B requires 0.6 direct labor-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $98,785. The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for external reports.
