Tomasini corporation has provided the following data from its activity-based costing accounting system:

supervisory wages $ 610,000
factory supplies $ 210,000
distribution of resource consumption across activity cost pools:

activity cost pools batch processing unit processing other total
supervisory wages 30% 65% 5% 100%
factory supplies 45% 35% 20% 100%
the "other" activity cost pool consists of the costs of idle capacity and organization-sustaining costs that are not assigned to products.

how much supervisory wages and factory supplies cost would not be assigned to products using the activity-based costing system?
