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	$ 19.60	$ 56.20
Direct labor per unit	$ 17.20	$ 60.40
Direct labor-hours per unit	0.70	2.40
Annual production (units)	38,900	19,000

The company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $2,846,674 and the company's estimated total direct labor-hours for the year is 72,830.

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)	$ 655,470
Setting up machines (setups)	660,044
Parts administration (part types)	1,531,160
Total	$ 2,846,674

Activities	W82R	L48S	Total
Supporting direct labor	27,230	45,600	72,830
Setting up machines	846	3,440	4,286
Parts administration	1,800	1,990	3,790

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.)
