Pet Gear Company makes two pet carriers, the Cat-allac and the Dog-eriffic. They are both made of plastic with metal doors, but the Cat-allac is smaller. Information for the two products for the month of April is given in the following tables

Pet Gear accounts for direct materials using a FIFO cost-flow assumption.

Pet Gear uses an activity-based costing system and classifies overhead into three activity pools: Setup, Processing, and Inspection. Activity rates for these activities are $130 per setup-hour, $5 per machine-hour, and $20 per inspection-hour, respectively. Other information follows:

Cost Driver Information
	Cat-allac		Dog-errific
Number of units per batch	25		10
Setup time per batch	1.25	hours	2.00	hours
Inspection time per batch	0.5	hours	0.6	hour

If necessary, round up to calculate number of batches. Nonmanufacturing fixed costs for March equal $40,000, half of which are salaries. Salaries are expected to increase 5% in April. Other nonmanufacturing fixed costs will remain the same. The only variable nonmanufacturing cost is sales commission, equal to 1% of sales revenue.
