Based on the same data given in Workout Problem 3: Recalling the ABC (Activity-Based Costing) from his education at Mason, the company’s controller, Claire, proposed the use of a new costing system, ABC, for computing the costs of each product line. Its activity-based costing system uses two​ indirect-cost pools. One cost pool is for setup costs (which is $145,800 in total) and the other for general manufacturing overhead (which is also $145,800 in total). It allocates setup costs to the two lamps based on setup labor-hours and general manufacturing overhead costs on the basis of direct manufacturing labor-hours. The budgeted cost information is as follows:    Basic Lamps Designer Lamps Total Direct materials per lamp $ 5 $ 21   Direct manufacturing labor per lamp 0.5 hours 0.8 hours   Direct manufacturing labor rate per hour $ 30 $ 30   Setup costs     $145,800 Lamps produced per batch 210 34   Setup labor-hours per batch 1 hour 2 hours   General manufacturing overhead costs     $145,800 Calculate the budgeted costs of the basic and designer lamps using the new, ABC system   Basic Lamps Designer Lamps Direct materials Direct manufacturing labor Setup costs allocated General manufacturing overhead costs allocated Total costs

(Hint: First calculate how many setup labor-hours would be needed to manufacture 21,000 basic lamps and 5,100 designer lamps.) Answer: $         per setup labor-hour
