Stanford Corporation has four categories of overhead. The expected overhead costs for each category for next year are as follows:

Maintenance	$210,000
Materials handling	90,000
Setups	75,000
Inspection	150,000

The company has been asked to submit a bid for a proposed job. The plant manager believes that obtaining this job would result in new business in future years. Bids are usually based upon full manufacturing cost plus 30 percent. Estimates for the proposed job are as follows:

Direct materials	$5,000
Direct labor (375 hours)	$7,500
Number of material moves	4
Number of inspections	3
Number of setups	2
Number of machine-hours	150

Expected activity for the four activity-based cost drivers that would be used is:

Machine-hours	10,000
Material moves	2,000
Setups	100
Quality inspections	4,000

Required:

a. Determine the amount of overhead that would be allocated to the proposed job if 20,000 direct labor-hours are used as the volume-based cost driver. Determine the total costs of the proposed job. Determine the company's bid, if the bid is based upon full manufacturing cost plus 30 percent. (Round amounts to 2 decimal places.)

b. Determine the amount of overhead that would be applied to the proposed project if activity-based costing is used. Determine the total costs of the proposed job if activity-based costing is used. Determine the company's bid if activity-based costing is used and the bid is based upon full manufacturing cost plus 30 percent. (Round amounts to 2 decimal places.)

c. Which product costing method produces the more competitive bid?
