hoen Nuptial Bakery makes very elaborate wedding cakes to order. The company has an activity-based costing system with three activity cost pools. The activity rate for the Size-Related activity cost pool is $0.96 per guest. (The greater the number of guests, the larger the cake.) The activity rate for the Complexity-Related cost pool is $28.92 per tier. (Cakes with more tiers are more complex.) Finally, the activity rate for the Order-Related activity cost pool is $78.19 per order. (Each wedding involves one order for a cake.) The activity rates include the costs of raw ingredients such as flour, sugar, eggs, and shortening. The activity rates do not include the costs of purchased decorations such as miniature statues and wedding bells, which are accounted for separately.

Data concerning two recent orders appear below:

	Nie Wedding	Strobl Wedding
Number of reception guests	68	183
Number of tiers on the cake	3	4
Cost of purchased decorations for cake	$15.45	$ 71.86

Assuming that all of the costs listed above are avoidable costs in the event that an order is turned down, what amount would the company have to charge for the Nie wedding cake to just break even?

Studler Corporation has an activity-based costing system with three activity cost pools-Processing, Supervising, and Other. In the first stage allocations, costs in the two overhead accounts, equipment expense and indirect labor, are allocated to the three activity cost pools based on resource consumption. Data used in the first stage allocations follow:

Overhead costs:
Equipment expense	71,250
Indirect labor	3,500

Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activity Cost Pools:
	Activity Cost Pools
	Processing			Supervising			Other
Equipment expense		0.60			0.20			0.20
Indirect labor		0.10			0.50			0.40

Processing costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Supervising costs are assigned to products using the number of batches. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data for the company's two products follow:

Activity:
	MHs (Processing)	Batches (Supervising)
Product Y4	1,725	115
Product R6	9,775	2,185
Total	11,500	2,300

What is the overhead cost assigned to Product R6 under activity-based costing?

The controller of Hartis Corporation estimates the amount of materials handling overhead cost that should be allocated to the company's two products using the data that are given below:

	Wall Mirrors	Specialty Windows
Total expected units produced	14,100	1,750

Expected direct labor-hours per unit	11	12

The total materials handling cost for the year is expected to be $17,214.30.

If the materials handling cost is allocated on the basis of material moves, the total materials handling cost allocated to the specialty windows is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
