Swifty Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) a commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 96,300 or [1.5 hours × (54,000 + 10,200)]. Estimated annual manufacturing overhead is $1,569,040. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $16.29 or ($1,569,040 ÷ 96,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.50 for the home model and $26.50 for the commercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for both the home and the commercial models. The company’s managers identified six activity cost pools and related cost drivers and accumulated overhead by cost pool as follows.                     Use of Drivers by Product Activity Cost Pools   Cost Drivers   Estimated Overhead   Estimated Use of Cost Drivers   Home   Commercial Receiving   Pounds   $87,100     335,000     215,000   120,000   Forming   Machine hours   148,050     35,000     27,000   8,000   Assembling   Number of parts   407,960     217,000     165,000   52,000     Testing   Number of tests   45,900     25,500     15,500   10,000   Painting   Gallons   52,580     5,258     3,680   1,578   Packing and shipping   Pounds   827,450     335,000     215,000   120,000           $1,569,040             Under traditional product costing, compute the total unit cost of each product. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.50.)     Home Model   Commercial Model Total unit cost   $enter the total unit cost in dollars rounded to 2 decimal places    $enter the total unit cost in dollars rounded to 2 decimal places
