Multiple Choice

Cassidy 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,VIP and Kommander,about which it has provided the following data:
 VIP  Kommander  Direct materials per unit $27.50$62.10 Direct labor per unit $15.60$52.00 Direct labor-hours per unit 0.602.00 Annual production 40,00015,000\begin{array} { | l | r | r | } \hline & \text { VIP } & \text { Kommander } \\\hline \text { Direct materials per unit } & \$ 27.50 & \$ 62.10 \\\hline \text { Direct labor per unit } & \$ 15.60 & \$ 52.00 \\\hline \text { Direct labor-hours per unit } & 0.60 & 2.00 \\\hline \text { Annual production } & 40,000 & 15,000 \\\hline\end{array}
The company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $2,449,440 and the company's estimated total direct labor-hours for the year is 54,000.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:
