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:
VIPKommander 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}{lcc} &\text {VIP}&\text {Kommander}\\ \text { Direct materials per unit } & \$ 27.50 & \$62.10 \\\text { Direct labor per unit } & \$ 15.60 & \$52.00\\ \text { Direct labor-hours per unit } & 0.60 & 2.00\\\text { Annual production }&40,000&15,000\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:
