Activity rates computed at the beginning of the year are used to apply manufacturing overhead costs to products. The company has provided the following data concerning its activity-based costing system.
The data used to develop activity rates were:
$$\begin{array} { | l | l | l | l | } \hline \text { Activity Cost Pools } & \begin{array} { l } \text { Estimated } \\\text { Overhead Cost }\end{array} & { \text { Expected Activity } } \\\hline \text { Machine related (machine-hours) } & \$ 332,800 & 16,000 & \text { MHs } \\\hline \text { Batch setup (setups) } & \$ 1,580,500 & 29,000 & \text { setups } \\\hline \begin{array} { l } \text { General factory (direct } \\\text { labour-hours) }\end{array} & \$ 305,600 & 16,000 & \text { DLHs } \\\hline \begin{array} { l } \text { The actual activity for the year } \\\text { was: }\end{array} & & & \\\hline & & \text { Actual Activity for the Year } \\\hline \text { Activity Cost Pools } & \text { Total } & \text { Product X } &\text { Product } Y \\\hline \text { Machine related (machine-hours) } & 15,000 & 7,000 & 8,000 \\\hline \text { Batch setup (setups) } & 30,000 & 22,000 &8,000\\\hline \begin{array} { l } \text { General factory (direct } \\\text { labour-hours) }\end{array} & 15,000 & 12,000 & 3,000 \\\hline\end{array}$$ The actual total manufacturing overhead cost incurred for the year was $2,202,600.
