Groleau Corporation has an activity-based costing system with three activity cost pools--Processing, Setting Up, and Other. The company's overhead costs, which consist of factory utilities and indirect labor, are allocated to the cost pools in proportion to the activity cost pools' consumption of resources. Costs in the Processing cost pool are assigned to products based on machine-hours (MHs) and costs in the Setting Up cost pool are assigned to products based on the number of batches. Costs in the Other cost pool are not assigned to products. Data concerning the two products and the company's costs and activity-based costing system appear below: Factory utilities (total) Indirect labor (total) $ 24,000 $ 3,000 Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activity Cost Pools: Processing Setting Up Other Factory utilities 30% 40% 30% Indirect labor 10% 40% 50% Product S8 Product F1 Total MHS Batches 2,200 700 7,800 300 10,000 1,000 Sales (total) Direct materials (total) Direct labor (total) Product S8 $ 64,000 $28,000 $ 25,300 Product F1 $ 68,700 $ 19,800 $ 36,700 Required: a.
