Accounting

Deemer Corporation has an activity-based costing system with three activity cost pools--Processing, Supervising, and Other.

Data used in the first stage allocations follow:

Overhead costs:
Equipment expense $ 83,000
Indirect labor $ 8,200

Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activity Cost Pools:

Activity Cost Pools
Processing Supervising Other
Equipment expense 0.40 0.50 0.10
Indirect labor 0.40 0.40 0.20
