Machine setup	$980,000	2,500 setup hours
Material handling	850,000	5,000 material moves
Machine operation	200,000	20,000 machine hours

The following data are for the production of single batches of two products, Mirlite and Subdue:

	Mirlite	Subdue
Gallons produced	50,000	30,000
Direct labor hours	400	250
Machine hours	800	250
Direct labor cost	$11,500	$9,000
Direct materials cost	$380,000	$180,000
Setup hours	15	12
Material moves	60	35
