Depreciation of machinery Machine hours 500 hours 1,500 hours 2,000 hours
Assembly line preparation Setups(number) 40 times 210 times 250 times
Required
a. Assign these three overhead cost pools to each of the two products using ABC.
b. Determine average cost per foot for each of the two products using ABC.
