My colleagues and I, with assistance of KPMG, have identified five activity cost pools and decided the distribution of overhead costs (manufacturing and nonmanufacturing) across the five pools below:
| Activity Cost Pools | Machining | Purchase orders | Design alterations | Customer relations | Segment sustaining | Total |
| Manufacturing overhead | 30% | 10% | 40% | 0% | 20% | 100% |
| Fixed selling expenses | 0% | 25% | 30% | 35% | 10% | 100% |
| Total administrative expenses | 25% | 0% | 0% | 30% | 45% | 100% |
Information on the costs associated with the three activity cost pools can found in the traditional income statement reported on the previous page.
