Tiger Furnishings's CFO believes that a two-stage cost allocation system would give managers better cost information. She asks the company's cost accountant to analyze the accounts and assign overhead costs to two pools: overhead related to direct labor cost and overhead related to machine-hours.

The analysis of overhead accounts by the cost accountant follows:
  Manufacturing Overhead Overhead
Estimate
  Cost Pool Assignment
  Utilities $ 1,500   Machine-hour related
  Supplies
4,600   Direct labor cost related
  Training
9,200   Direct labor cost related
  Supervision
25,800   Direct labor cost related
  Machine depreciation
23,000   Machine-hour related
  Plant depreciation
23,500   Machine-hour related
  Miscellaneous
106,910   Direct labor cost related
