Bunker makes two types of briefcases, fabric and leather. The company is currently using a traditional costing system with labor hours as the cost driver but is considering switching to an activity$-$based costing system. In preparation for the possible switch, Bunker has identified two activity pools: materials handling and setup. Pertinent data follow:

$\backslash$table$[[,$Fabric Case,Leather Case$],[$Number of labor hours,$16,000,8,000],[$Number of material moves,$620,930],[$Number of setups,$40,120]]$

Total estimated overhead costs are $$238,800,$ of which $$186,000$ is assigned to the materials handling pool and $$52,800$ is assigned to the setup pool.
