Ritz Company sells fine collectible statues and has implemented activity-based costing. Costs in the shipping department have been divided into three cost pools. The first cost pool contains costs that are related to packaging and shipping and Rand has determined that the number of boxes shipped is an appropriate cost driver for these costs. The second cost pool is made up of costs related to the final inspection of each item before it is shipped and the cost driver for this pool is the number of individual items that are inspected and shipped. The final cost pool is used for general operations and supervision of the department and the cost driver is the number of shipments. Information about the department is summarized below:

Cost Pool	Total Cost	Cost Driver	Annual Activity
Packaging and shipping	$167,100	number of Boxes shipped	20,100
Final Inspection	$201,000	Number Individual items shipped	99,000
General Opperations and supervision	$84,200	Number of orders	8,800
