Guinta 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, O48C and G94Z, about which it has provided the following data:

 O48CG94Z
  Direct materials per unit$24.80   $56.30  
  Direct labor per unit$24.10   $63.20  
  Direct labor-hours per unit 0.70    2.40  
  Annual production (units) 38,800    18,300  


The company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $3,224,840 and the company's estimated total direct labor-hours for the year is 71,080.

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:
