Correct answer iconYour answer is correct.

The total estimated manufacturing overhead was $ 278,000. Under traditional costing (which assigns overhead on the basis of direct labor hours), what amount of manufacturing overhead costs are assigned to: (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25.)

(1)		One mobile safe		$	per unit
(2)		One walk-in safe		$	per unit

The total estimated manufacturing overhead of $ 278,000 was comprised of $ 169,000 for materials handling costs and $ 109,000 for purchasing activity costs. Under activity-based costing (ABC): (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25.) What amount of materials handling costs are assigned to:
