The company has decided to experiment with activity-based costing and has created two activity cost pools and related activity cost drivers. These two cost pools are Ordering and receiving (cost driver is Purchase orders) and machine setup (cost driver is number of setups). Overhead allocated to the ordering and receiving cost pool is $200,000, and $800,000 is allocated to the machine setup cost pool. Additional information related to these pools is as follows: Cost Drivers Tables Chairs Purchase orders 30,000 10,000 number of setups 10,000 30,000 a. Determine the amount of overhead assigned to the table product line and the chairs product line using activity-based costing. b.
