Hickory Company manufactures two products14,000 units of Product Y and 6,000 units of Product Z. The company uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. It is considering implementing an activity-based costing (ABC) system that allocates all $684,000 of its manufacturing overhead to four cost pools. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Products Y and Z: Activity Cost Pool Machining Machine setups Product design General factory Activity Measure Machine-hours Number of setups Number of products Direct labor-hours Estimated Overhead Cost $200,000 $ 100,000 $84,000 $300,000 Expected Activity 10,000 MHS 200 setups 2 products 12.000 DLHS Page 341 Activity Measure Machine-hours Number of setups Number of products Direct labor-hours Product Y Product 7,000 3,000 50 150 1 8.000 4,000 Required: 1.
