Cosgrove Company manufactures two products, Product K-7 and Product L-15. Product L-15 is of fairly recent origin, having been developed as an attempt to enter a market closely related to that of Product K-7. Product L-15 is the more complex of the two products, requiring 3 hours of direct labor time per unit to manufacture compared to 2 hour of direct labor time for Product K-7. Product L-15 is produced on an automated production line.
Overhead currently is applied to the products on the basis of direct labor-hours. The company estimated it would incur $1,021,448 in manufacturing overhead costs and produce 19,300 units of Product L-15 and 96,500 units of Product K- 7 during the current year.

Unit costs for materials and labor are:

	Product K-7		Product L-15
Direct material	$	21	$	29
Direct labor	$	8	$	18
