Flemming Corporation uses activity-based costing to compute product margins. Overhead costs have already been allocated to the company's three activity cost pools--Machining, Order Filling, and Other. The costs in those activity cost pools appear below: Machining $20,900
Order Filling $22,900
Other $29,200
Machining costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Order Filling costs are assigned to products using the number of orders. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data appear below:
MHs (Machining) Orders (Order Filling)
Product U6 9,600 600
