Pelder Products Company manufactures two types of engineering diagnostic equipment

used in construction. The two products are based upon different technologies, x-ray and

ultra-sound, but are manufactured in the same factory. Pelder has computed the

manufacturing cost of the x-ray and ultra-sound products by adding together direct

materials, direct labor, and overhead cost applied based on the number of direct labor

hours. The factory has three overhead departments that support the single production line

that makes both products. Budgeted overhead spending for the departments is as follows.
