Mercon | Wurcon | |||
Direct materials cost per unit | $ | 13.00 | $ | 11.00 |
Direct labor cost per unit | $ | 10.00 | $ | 13.00 |
Direct labor-hours per unit | 0.30 | 1.25 | ||
Number of units produced | 5,000 | 10,000 | ||

Management is considering an activity-based costing system in which half of the overhead would continue to be allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours and half would be allocated on the basis of engineering design time. This time is expected to be distributed as follows during the upcoming year: |
Mercon | Wurcon | Total | |
Engineering design time (in hours) | 2,000 | 2,000 | 4,000 |
Compute the unit product costs for the two products using the proposed ABC system. (Do not round intermediate calculation. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.) |
