Pressler Corporation's activity-based costing system has three activity cost pools-Machining, Setting Up, and Other. The company's overhead costs, which consist of equipment depreciation and indirect labor, are allocated to the cost pools in proportion to the activity cost pools' consumption of resources.


Equipment depreciation (total)	$	31,800
Indirect labor (total)	$	7,200

Distribution of Resources Consumption Across Activity Cost Pools
	Machining	Setting up	Other
Equipment depreciation	0.20	0.50	0.30
