In the past, the ABC company allocated indirect manufacturing costs based on direct labour hours. Recently, management has decided to pilot a system of time-driven activity-based costing to allocate these costs. The division produces two lawnmower models: Lo-cost and Deluxe. The following information has been obtained from the company's records over the past year:

	Lo-cost	Deluxe
Units produced	500,000	50,000
Direct labour hours incurred	200,000	40,000
Inspections per lawnmower	2	4
Time for each inspection (hrs.)	.1	.3
Lawnmowers packed and shipped per batch	2,000	500
Individual lawnmower packing time (hrs.)	.25	.4
Additional preparation time per batch (hrs.)	30	15

ABC employs 245 employees to perform indirect labour functions, rotating among machine setups, final inspections and shipping. Each employee is paid $50,000 per year on average, including benefits. On average, each employee works 1,600 hours per year.

200 automated production machines are leased for $14,000,000 in total each year. Each machine is available for 1,600 hours per year, including set up time. Once a machine is set up, no labour is necessary to oversee it. Machine-related information for the year is as follows:

	Lo-cost	Deluxe
Machine hours per lawnmower	.4	.6
Set up time per run (hrs.)	300	600
Number of production runs	100	50
