The company has made the regular model for years; the deluxe model was introduced several years ago to tap a new segment of the market.

The deluxe model requires 2.0 hours of direct labor time per unit, and the regular model requires 1.0 hour. Direct materials and labor costs per unit are given below:
Deluxe Regular
Direct materials cost per unit $ 50.00 $ 30.00
