Problem-

Overhead costs have already been allocated to the company's three activity cost pools as follows: Processing, $48,800; Supervising, $36,700; and Other, $26,600. 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 appear below:
