Multiple Choice

Chang 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,Plain and Fancy,about which it has provided the following data:
 Plain  Fancy  Direct materials per unit $24.50$59.30 Direct labor per unit $5.00$25.00 Direct labor-hours per unit 0.201.00 Annual production 45,00015,000\begin{array} { | l | r | r | } \hline & \text { Plain } & \text { Fancy } \\\hline \text { Direct materials per unit } & \$ 24.50 & \$ 59.30 \\\hline \text { Direct labor per unit } & \$ 5.00 & \$ 25.00 \\\hline \text { Direct labor-hours per unit } & 0.20 & 1.00 \\\hline \text { Annual production } & 45,000 & 15,000 \\\hline\end{array}

The company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $985,440 and the company's estimated total direct labor-hours for the year is 24,000.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:
