Murri 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)	$	34,700
Indirect labor (total)	$	15,100

Distribution of Resources Consumption Across Activity Cost Pools
	Processing	Setting up	Other
Factory utilities	0.20	0.50	0.30
Indirect labor	0.50	0.30	0.20

	MHs	Batches
Product X7	3,100	1,600
Product L4	7,100	600
Total	10,200	2,200

	Product X7		Product L4
Sales (total)	$	80,400	$	99,600
Direct materials (total)	$	25,600	$	38,300
Direct labor (total)	$	30,800	$	43,200
