Draaksh Corporation sells premium quality wine for $80 per bottle. Its direct materials and direct labour costs are $15 and $9.00 respectively per bottle. It pays its direct labour employees a wage of $18 per hour.

The company performed a regression analysis using the past 12 months’ data and established the following monthly cost equation for manufacturing overhead costs using direct labour hours as the overhead allocation base:

y = $151,200 + $19.50x
