Brisky Corporation uses activity-based costing to computeproduct margins. In the first stage, the activity-based costingsystem allocates two overhead accounts-equipment depreciation andsupervisory expense-to three activity cost pools-Machining, OrderFilling, and Other-based on resource consumption. Data to performthese allocations appear below:

  Overhead costs:
  Equipment depreciation$46,000
  Supervisory expense$12,200  
Distribution of Resource Consumption AcrossActivity Cost Pools:

Activity Cost Pools

MachiningOrder FillingOther
  Equipment depreciation0.50     0.20        0.30    
  Supervisory expense0.50     0.10        0.40    

In the second stage, Machining costs are assigned to productsusing machine-hours (MHs) and Order Filling costs are assigned toproducts using the number of orders. The costs in the Otheractivity cost pool are not assigned to products.

  Activity:
MHs (Machining)Orders (Order Filling)
  Product I35,940            124             
  Product U814,600            923             
  Total

20,540            

1,047            

Finally, sales and direct cost data are combined with Machiningand Order Filling costs to determine product margins.

  Sales and Direct Cost Data:
Product I3Product U8
  Sales (total)$66,500     $61,600     
  Direct materials (total)$30,700     $23,100     
  Direct labor (total)$19,300     $35,200     

What is the product margin for Product I3 under activity-basedcosting? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimalplaces and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
