Swifty Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) a commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 96,300 or [1.5 hours × (54,000 + 10,200)]. Estimated annual manufacturing overhead is $1,569,040. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $16.29 or ($1,569,040 ÷ 96,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.50 for the home model and $26.50 for the commercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for both the home and the commercial models. The company’s managers identified six activity cost pools and related cost drivers and accumulated overhead by cost pool as follows.

Swifty Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) a commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 96,300 or [1.5 hours × (54,000 + 10,200)]. Estimated annual manufacturing overhead is $1,569,040. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $16.29 or ($1,569,040 ÷ 96,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.50 for the home model and $26.50 for the commercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for both the home and the commercial models.

The company’s managers identified six activity cost pools and related cost drivers and accumulated overhead by cost pool as follows.

						Use of Drivers by Product
Activity Cost Pools	Cost Drivers	Estimated Overhead	Estimated Use of Cost Drivers		Home	Commercial
Receiving	Pounds	$87,100		335,000		215,000	120,000
Forming	Machine hours	148,050		35,000		27,000	8,000
Assembling	Number of parts	407,960		217,000		165,000	52,000
Testing	Number of tests	45,900		25,500		15,500	10,000
Painting	Gallons	52,580		5,258		3,680	1,578
Packing and shipping	Pounds	827,450		335,000		215,000	120,000
		$1,569,040

Under traditional product costing, compute the total unit cost of each product. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.50.)
