Snowden Industries produces two electronic decoders, $P$ and Q$.$ Decoder $P$ is more sophisticated and requires more programming and testing than does Decoder Q$.$ Because of these product differences, the company wants to use activity$-$based costing to allocate overhead costs. It has identified four activity pools. Relevant information follows:

$\backslash$table$[[$Activity Pools,$\backslash$table$[[$Cost Pool$],[$Total$]],$Cost Driver$],[$Repair and maintenance on assembly machine,$$99,000,$Number of units produced$],[$Programming cost$,167,000,$Number of programming hours$],[$Software inspections,$21,000,$Number of inspections$],[$Product testing,$25,000,$Number of tests$],[$Total overhead cost,$$312,000,]]$

Expected activity for each product follows:

$\backslash$table$[[,\backslash$table$[[$Number of$],[$Units$]],\backslash$table$[[$Number of$],[$Programming$],[$Hours$]],\backslash$table$[[$Number of$],[$Inspections$]],\backslash$table$[[$Number of$],[$Tests$]]],[$Decoder P$,19,800,2,700,266,1,400],[$Decoder Q$,46,200,2,300,84,1,100],[$Total$,66,000,5,000,350,2,500]]$

Assume that before shifting to activity$-$based costing, Snowden Industries allocated all overhead costs based on direct labor hours. Direct labor data pertaining to the two decoders follow:

$\backslash$table$[[,$Direct Labor$],[,$Hours$],[$Decoder P$,7,200],[$Decoder $Q,16,800],[$Total$,24,000]]$
