Hickory Company manufactures two products—13,000 units of Product Y and 5,000 units of Product Z. The company uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. It is considering implementing an activity-based costing (ABC) system that allocates all $813,600 of its manufacturing overhead to four cost pools. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Products Y and Z:

Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Estimated Overhead Cost Expected Activity
Machining Machine hours $246,000 12,000 MHs
Machine set-ups Number of set-ups $137,500 250 set-ups
Production Design Number of Products 89,000 2 products
General Factory Direct labor-hours 357,000 14,000 DLHs

Activity Measure Product Y Product Z
Machine Hours 7,500 4,500
Number of set-ups 40 210
Number of products 1 1
Direct labor-hours 8,500 5,500
