Wilmington Office Equipment Corporation manufactures two types of filing cabinetsDeluxe and Executiveand applies manufacturing overhead to all units at the rate of $144.00 per machine hour. Production information follows.

Deluxe Executive
Direct-material cost $ 40 $ 60
Direct-labor cost 45 45
Budgeted volume (units) 28,800 54,000

The controller, who is studying the use of activity-based costing, has determined that the firms overhead can be identified with three activities: manufacturing setups, machine processing, and product shipping. Data on the number of setups, machine hours, and outgoing shipments, which are the activities three respective cost drivers, follow.

Deluxe Executive Total
Setups 164 124 288
Machine hours 57,600 81,000 138,600
Outgoing shipments 200 150 350

The firms total overhead of $19,958,400 is subdivided as follows: manufacturing setups, $4,354,560; machine processing, $11,975,040; and product shipping, $3,628,800.

Required:
1.

Compute the unit manufacturing cost of Deluxe and Executive filing cabinets by using the companys current overhead costing procedures.
