Cost per unit                      $1,421.86                         $954.46

Traditional costing:

Direct labor costs               $171,948 ($28*6,141)          $175,112 ($28*6,254)

Total direct materials cost $172,776 ($250.4*690)   $177,868 ($167.8*1,060)

Total overhead                   $641,612                          $653,418                 $1,295,112

Total production cost       $986,336                       $1,006,398

Expected production            690                                  1,060

Cost per unit                      $1,429.47                         $949.43

Allocation of overhead based on direct labor hours

= $ 1,295,086/12,395

= $104.48 per DLH

Product U6 = $641,612 ($104.48 *  6,141)

Product R5 = $653,418 ($104.48 * 6,254)

Overhead rates:

Labor-related = $201,638/14,405 = $14.00 per DLH

Production orders = $72,840/2,600 = $28.00 per order

Order size = $1,020,608/13,300 = $76.74 per machine hour
