Hickory Company manufactures two products-13,000 units of Product Y and 5,000 units of Product Z. The company uses a plant wide overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. It is considering implementing an activity-based costing (ABC) system that allocates all of its manufacturing overhead to four cost pools. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Products Y and Z:
