Groleau Corporation has an activity-based costing system with
three activity cost pools--Processing, Setting Up, and Other. The
company's overhead costs, which consist of factory utilities and
indirect labor, are allocated to the cost pools in proportion to
the activity cost pools' consumption of resources. Costs in the
Processing cost pool are assigned to products based on
machine-hours (MHs) and costs in the Setting Up cost pool are
assigned to products based on the number of batches. Costs in the
Other cost pool are not assigned to products. Data concerning the
two products and the company's costs and activity-based costing
system appear below:
