Using the above information. Syracuse Metal Works produces two types of metal lamps. Syracuse manufactures 17,500 basic lamps and 6,160 designer lamps. Its activity-based costing system uses two indirect-cost pools. One cost pool is for setup costs and the other for general manufacturing overhead. Syracuse allocates setup costs to the two lamps based on setup labour-hours and general manufacturing overhead costs on the basis of direct manufacturing labour-hours. It provides the following budgeted cost information.

Calculate the total budgeted costs of the basic and designer lamps using Syracuse's activity-based costing system.
