Capizzi Corporation has an activity-based costing system with three activity cost pools-Machining, Order Filling, and Other. In the first stage allocations, costs in the two overhead accounts, equipment depreciation and supervisory expense, are allocated to three activity cost pools based on resource consumption. Data used in the first stage allocations follow:

  Overhead costs:  
  Equipment depreciation $81,200  
  Supervisory expense $7,000  

Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activity Cost Pools:
 
Activity Cost Pools
  Machining Order Filling Other
  Equipment depreciation 0.50      0.20         0.30    
  Supervisory expense 0.50      0.10         0.40    

Machining costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Order Filling costs are assigned to products using the number of orders. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data for the company's two products follow:

  Activity:    
  MHs (Machining) Batches (Order Filling)
  Product Y7 1,680           860            
  Product V2 9,710           2,240            
  Total
11,390          
3,100            

What is the overhead cost assigned to Product V2 under activity-based costing? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
$37,578
correct $49,808
$12,230
$60,340
