Hugle
Corporation's activity-based costing system has three activity cost
pools-Machining, Setting Up, and Other. The company's overhead costs
have already been allocated to these cost pools as follows:
| | |
Machining | $ | 72,798 |
Setting up | $ | 119,978 |
Other | $ | 23,900 |
|
Costs
in the Machining cost pool are assigned to products based on
machine-hours (MHs) and costs in the Setting Up cost pool are assigned
to products based on the number of batches. Costs in the Other cost pool
are not assigned to products. The following table shows the
machine-hours and number of batches associated with each of the
company's two products:
|
| MHs | Batches |
Product E8 | 2,580 | 1,330 |
Product V8 | 8,450 | 1,180 |
|

Total | 11,030 | 2,510 |
