Hugle Corporation's activity-based costing system has three activity cost pools-Machining, Setting Up, and Other. The company's overhead costs have already been allocated to these cost pools as follows:

Machining	$	78,597
Setting up	$	103,246
Other	$	23,200

Costs in the Machining 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. The following table shows the machine-hours and number of batches associated with each of the company's two products:

	MHs	Batches
Product E8	2,290	1,440
Product V8	8,780	650
Total	11,070	2,090

	Product E8		Product V8
Sales (total)	$	271,000	$	253,000
Direct materials (total)	$	84,000	$	92,700
Direct labor (total)	$	93,400	$	60,300
