EcoFabrics has budgeted overhead costs of $$982,800.$ It has assigned overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products $($wool and

cotton$)$ using direct labor hours which are estimated to be $468,000$ for the current year. The company has decided to experiment with

activity$-$based costing and has created two activity cost pools and related activity cost drivers. These two cost pools are cutting $($cost

driver is machine hours$)$ and design $($cost driver is number of setups$).$ Total estimated machine hours is $208,000,$ and total estimated

number of setups is $1,560.$ Overhead allocated to the cutting cost pool is $$374,400$ and $$608,400$ is allocated to the design cost pool.

Additional information related to product usage by these pools is as follows.
