Wilkins Inc. has two types of handbags: standard and custom. The controller has decided to use a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor costs.

Presented below is information related to the company's operations.

	Standard	Custom
Direct labor costs	$51,900	$101,000
Machine hours	1,470	1,280
Setup hours	100	380
