Answer:
$112,000
Explanation:
The computation of using activity based costing for overhead costs to activity cost pools is below:-
Factory utilities for processing
= $99,000 × 0.30
= $29,700
Factory utilities for Setting up
= $99,000 × 0.50
= $49,500
Factory utilities for others
= $99,000 × 0.20
= $19,800
Total = $99,000
Indirect Labor for processing
= $13,000 × 0.20
= $2,600
Indirect labor for setting up
= $13,000 × 0.30
= $3,900
Indirect labor for others
= $13,000 × 0.50
= $6,500
Total = $13,000
Overhead costs = $99,000 + $13,000
= $112,000
