Upriver Parts manufactures two products, V-1 and V-2, at its River Plant. Selected data for an average month for the two products follow.

	V-1			V-2
Units produced		10,000			1,000
Direct materials cost per unit	$	2		$	4
Machine hours per unit		1			2
Production runs per month		80			40

Production at the plant is automated and any labor cost is included in overhead. Data on manufacturing overhead at the plant follow.

Machine depreciation	$	54,000
Setup labor		25,200
Material handling		15,840
Total	$	95,040

Required:

a. Upriver currently applies overhead on the basis of machine hours. What is the predetermined overhead rate for the month? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Upriver is thinking of adopting an ABC system. They have tentatively chosen the following cost drivers: machine hours for machine depreciation, production runs for setup labor, and direct material dollars for material handling. Compute the cost driver rates for the proposed system at Upriver.
