(4 marks) (b) Assuming use of activity-based costing, compute the unit manufacturing costs of Regular and Deluxe if the expected manufacturing volume is attained. (7 marks) (c) How much overhead would be applied to a unit of Regular and Deluxe if the company used traditional costing and applied overhead solely on the basis of direct labor hours? Which of the two products would be undercosted by this procedure? Overcosted? (4 marks) (d) Define the term "cost driver" and discuss the factors that are important in the selection of appropriate cost drivers.
