2. Vintage Fun reproduces old?fashioned style roller skates and skateboards. The annual production and sales of roller skates is 1,000 units, while 1,760 skateboards are produced and sold. The company has traditionally used direct labor hours to allocate its overhead to products. Roller skates require 1.5 direct labor hours per unit, while skateboards require 1.25 direct labor hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for the period is $113,800. The company is looking at the possibility of changing to an activity?based costing system for its products. If the company used an activity?based costing system, it would have the following three activity cost pools:

		Expected activity
Activity cost pool	Estimated overhead cost	Roller skates	Stakeboards	Total
Setup costs	$6,550	345	310	655
Engineering costs	$16,200	430	670	1,100
Maintenance costs	$91,050	2,375	2,158	4,533

The overhead cost per skateboard using the traditional costing system would be closest to (Round all answers to two decimal places.)

A. $19.67

B. $51.68
