Siegel Company manufactures a product that is available in both a deluxe model and a regular model. The company has manufactured the regular model for years. The deluxe model was introduced several years ago to tap a new segment of the market. Since introduction of the deluxe model, the companys profits have steadily declined and management has become increasingly concerned about the accuracy of its costing system. Sales of the deluxe model have been increasing rapidly.

Manufacturing overhead is assigned to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. For the current year, the company has estimated that it will incur $5,374,500 in manufacturing overhead cost and produce 12,000 units of the deluxe model and 111,000 units of the regular model. The deluxe model requires 1.0 hours of direct labor time per unit, and the regular model requires 0.5 hour. Material and labor costs per unit are as follows:

	Model
	Deluxe			Regular
Direct materials	$	152		$	112
Direct labor	$	19		$	10

Required:

1-a. Using direct labor-hours as the base for assigning manufacturing overhead cost to products, compute the predetermined overhead rate.

1-b. Using the predetermined overhead rate computed in 1-a above and other data from the problem, determine the unit product cost of each model.
