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
Indirect labor	0.30	0.30	0.40

Costs in the Machining cost pool are assigned to products based on machine-hours (MHs) and costs in the Setting Up cost pool are assigned to products based on the number of batches. Costs in the Other cost pool are not assigned to products.

	MHs	Batches
Product S4	12,200	600
