$\begin{array} { l r r } \text { Cost Pool } & \text { Manufacturing Overhead Costs } & \text { Activity Level } \\ \text { Design changes } & \$ 60000 & 400 \text { design changes } \\ \text { Set-ups } & 320000 & 8000 \text { set-ups } \\ \text { Inspections } & 40000 & 8000 \text { inspections } \\ \text { Total manufacturing overhead costs } & \$ 420000 & \end{array}$
