Kunkel Company makes two products and uses a conventional costing system in which a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate is computed based on direct labor-hours. Data for the two products for the upcoming year follow:

	Mercon		Wurcon
Direct materials cost per unit	$	13.60	$	21.90
Direct labor cost per unit	$	5.30	$	3.80
Direct labor-hours per unit		0.45		0.30
Number of units produced		29,000		73,000

These products are customized to some degree for specific customers.

This time is expected to be distributed as follows during the upcoming year:

	Mercon	Wurcon	Total
Engineering design time (in hours)	2,800	3,000	5,800
