Multiple Cost Drivers Scottsdale Ltd. manufactures a variety of high-volume and low-volume products to customer demand. Presented is information on 2009 manufacturing overhead and activity cost drivers.

Unit	$500,000	20,000 machine hours
Batch	200,000	1,000 customer orders
Product	200,000	50 products

Product X1 required 2,000 machine hours to fill 10 customer orders for a total of 8,000 units.

(a) Assuming all manufacturing overhead is estimated and predicted on the basis of machine hours, determine the predicted total overhead costs to produce the 8,000 units of product X1.

(b) Assuming manufacturing overhead is estimated and predicted using separate rates for machine hours, customer orders, and products (a multiple-level cost hierarchy), determine the predicted total overhead costs to produce the 8,000 units of product X1.
