Woodland Industries manufactures and sells custom-made windows. Its job costing system was designed using an activity-based costing approach. Direct materials and direct labor costs are accumulated separately, along with information concerning three manufacturing overhead cost drivers (activities). Assume that the direct labor rate is $18 per hour and that there were no beginning inventories. The following information was available for 2022, based on an expected production level of 51,700 units for the year, which will require 206,800 direct labor hours:

Activity Cost Driver	Budgeted Costs for 2022	Cost Driver Used as Allocation Base	Cost Allocation Rate
Materials handling	$ 232,650	Number of parts used	$ 0.18	per part
Cutting and lathe work	1,938,750	Number of parts used	3.20	per part
Assembly and inspection	4,549,600	Direct labor hours	22.00	per hour

The following production, costs, and activities occurred during the month of July:

Units Produced	Direct Materials Costs	Number of Parts Used	Direct Labor Hours
4,250	$ 159,800	93,500	17,850

Required:

A. Calculate the total manufacturing costs and the cost per unit of the windows produced during the month of July (using the activity-based costing approach).

Note: Round "Cost per unit produced" to 2 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.

B. Assume instead that Woodland Industries applies manufacturing overhead on a direct labor hours basis (rather than using the activity-based costing system previously described). Calculate the total manufacturing cost and the cost per unit of the windows produced during the month of July. (Hint: You will need to calculate the predetermined overhead application rate using the total budgeted overhead costs for 2022.)

Note: Round "Cost per unit produced" to 2 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.

C. Which approach do you think provides better information for manufacturing managers?

Total manufacturing cost =

Cost per unit produced=
