An activity based costing system is used at GCO Plc Ltd. to assign products overhead costs. First, the two overhead costs of Building Maintenance expense and Equipment depreciation are allocated to three activity cost pools - Finishing, Order Filling, and Other - based on resource consumption. The information used to perform these allocations is below:

Overhead Costs:

• Building Maintenance expense: $100,000
• Equipment depreciation: $175,000

Distribution of Resource Consumption across Activity Cost Pools:

Overhead Cost	Activity Cost Pools
Finishing	Order Filling	Other
Building Maintenance expense	0.22	0.26	0.52
Equipment depreciation	0.48	0.44	0.08

The second stage of allocation is done by assigning the Finishing costs to products on the basis of direct labor hours while products are assigned Order Filling costs based on orders filled. Costs assigned to the Other activity pool are not further assigned to products. Activity information for GCO's only two products is below:

direct labor hours	orders filled
Product LS-172:	5,000	1,700
Product LS-137:	2,200	2,600
