Markham Company makes two products: Basic Product and Deluxe Product. Annual production and sales are 1,700 units of Basic Product and 1,100 units of Deluxe Product. The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Basic Product requires 0.3 direct labor-hours per unit, and Deluxe Product requires 0.6 direct labor-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for the next period is $98,785.
