The Company also provides the following information for 2012 for its three support activities:

Support Activity Budgeted Cost
Cost Driver
Ordering $130,000

Shelf stocking $85,000

Part A
Family Supermarkets currently uses a single-driver system to allocate period costs to its product lines. The single driver that is used is the Cost of Goods Sold for each product line. Using this system, compute the allocation to Packaged Foods.

Part B
If Family Supermarkets instead used an activity-based costing system to allocate period costs, with the cost pools and cost drivers listed in the tables above, how much would be allocated to Meats?
