Concord Electronics manufactures two ultra high-definition television models: the Royale which sells for $1,530, and a new model, the Majestic, which sells for $1,270. The production cost computed per unit under traditional costing for each model in 2020 was as follows.

Traditional Costing

Royale

Majestic

Direct materials

$640

$400

Direct labor ($20 per hour)

120

100

Manufacturing overhead ($41 per DLH)

246

205

Total per unit cost

$1,006

$705

In 2020, Concord manufactured 25,000 units of the Royale and 10,000 units of the Majestic. The overhead rate of $41 per direct labor hour was determined by dividing total estimated manufacturing overhead of $8,114,400 by the total direct labor hours (200,000) for the two models. Under traditional costing, the gross profit on the models was Royale $524 ($1,530 $1,006) and Majestic $565 ($1,270 $705). Because of this difference, management is considering phasing out the Royale model and increasing the production of the Majestic model. Before finalizing its decision, management asks Concords controller to prepare an analysis using activity-based costing (ABC). The controller accumulates the following information about overhead for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Machining Machine hours 5,035,800 119,900 $42/hour
Quality control Number of inspections 712,400 27,400 $26/inspection

The cost drivers used for each product were:

Assign the total 2020 manufacturing overhead costs to the two products using activity-based costing (ABC) and determine the overhead cost per unit. (Round cost per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25.)
