Coronado 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 $1,566,090. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $16.26 or ($1,566,090 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 companys 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		$83,750			335,000			215,000		120,000
Forming		Machine hours		151,900			35,000			27,000		8,000
Assembling		Number of parts		401,450			217,000			165,000		52,000
Testing		Number of tests		48,960			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
				$1,566,090

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

		Home Model		Commercial Model
Total unit cost		$enter the total unit cost in dollars rounded to 2 decimal places		$enter the total unit cost in dollars rounded to 2 decimal places
