The Big Bus Company manufactures two products, Product 1 and Product 2. Product 2 was developed as an attempt to enter a market closely related to that of Product 1. Product 2 is the more complex of the two products, requiring three hours of direct labour time per unit to manufacture compared to one and one-half hours of direct labour time for Product 1. Product 2 is produced on an automated production line. Overhead is currently assigned to the products on the basis of direct labour-hours. The company estimated it would incur a total of $396,000 in manufacturing overhead costs and produce 5,500 units of Product 2 and 22,000 units of Product 1 during the current year. Unit costs for materials and direct labour are: 4 Product 1 Direct Labour Direct material Product 2 $7 $9 $15 $20 a.
