American Fabrics has budgeted overhead costs of $997,920. It has allocated overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products (wool and cotton) using direct labor hours which are estimated to be 453,600 for the current year. The company has decided to experiment with activity-based costing and has created two activity cost pools and related activity cost drivers. These two cost pools are: cutting (cost driver is machine hours) and design (cost driver is number of setups). Overhead allocated to the cutting cost pool is $362,880 and $635,040 is allocated to the design cost pool. Additional information related to these pools is as follows.

	Wool	Cotton	Total
Machine hours	100,800	100,800	201,600
Number of setups	1,008	504	1,512
