Upton 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, Long and Short, about which it has
provided the following data: Long Short Direct materials per unit $
14.70 $ 48.50 Direct labor per unit $ 17.30 $ 50.90 Direct
labor-hours per unit 0.70 2.10 Annual production 60,000 10,000 The
company’s estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is
$3,486,420 and the company’s estimated total direct labor-hours for
the year is 63,000. 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: Activities and Activity Measures Estimated
