Werger Manufacturing Corporation has a traditional costing system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to its products using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours (DLHs). The company has two products, W82R and L48S, about which it has provided the following data:

W82R L48S
Direct materials per unit $ 19.70 $ 62.50
Direct labor per unit $ 18.40 $ 56.00
Direct labor-hours per unit 0.70 2.40
Annual production (units) 36,000 20,800

The company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $3,347,900 and the company's estimated total direct labor-hours for the year is 75,120.

The company is considering using a variation of activity-based costing to determine its unit product costs for external reports. Data for this proposed activity-based costing system appear below:

Activities and Activity Measures Estimated
Overhead Cost
Supporting direct labor (DLHs) $ 676,080
Setting up machines (setups) 807,760
Parts administration (part types) 1,864,060
Total $ 3,347,900
Activities W82R L48S Total
Supporting direct labor 25,200 49,920 75,120
Setting up machines 882 2,630 3,512
Parts administration 2,120 1,950 4,070

Required:

a. Determine the unit product cost of each of the company's two products under the traditional costing system.

b. Determine the unit product cost of each of the company's two products under activity-based costing system.

(For all requirements, round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)
