Way Cool produces two different models of air conditioners. The company produces the mechanical systems in its components department. The mechanical systems are combined with the housing assembly in its finishing department. The activities, costs, and drivers associated with these two manufacturing processes and the production support process follow.

Using ABC, compute the overhead cost per unit for each product line. 2. Determine the total cost per unit for each product line if the direct labor and direct materials costs per unit are $250 for Model 145 and $180 for Model 212. 3. If the market price for Model 145 is $820 and the market price for Model 212 is $480, determine the profit or loss per unit for each model.
