Explanation:
1.
First-stage allocations of overhead costs to the activity cost pools:

Wages and salaries:
Direct labor support: $356,000 × 20% =$71,200
Order processing: $356,000 × 30% = $106,800
Customer support: $356,000 × 15% = $53,400
Other: $356,000 × 35% = $124,600

Other overhead costs:
Direct labor support: $197,000 × 30% = $59,100
Order processing: $197,000 × 15% = $29,550
Customer support: $197,000 × 15% = $29,550
Other: $197,000 × $40% = $78,800

*0.4 DLH per unit × 100 units = 40 DLHs

4.
Sales (100 units × $265 per unit) = $26,500
Direct materials ($268 per unit × 100 units) = $26,800
Direct labor ($23 per DLH × 0.4 DLH per unit × 100 units) = $920
