Explain an activity-based costing allocation system


Assume that X Company has decided to switch to an activity-based costing allocation system. It has identified three activities with the following budgeted costs and cost drivers for 2015:

Purchasing    $39,600 4,600 purchase orders
Assembly    $99,000 87,400 parts
Packaging    $59,400 14,900 finished units

Assume that 800 unis of Product 1 were made in 2015, with 1,013 parts, and requiring 33 purchase orders. Using the activity-based costing allocation system, how much overhead was allocated to Product 1 (round overhead rate(s) to the nearest cent and your final answer to the nearest dollar)?
