Question

omasini Corporation has provided the following data from its activity-based costing accounting system:

Supervisory wages	$	600,000
Factory supplies	$	200,000

Distribution of Resource Consumption across Activity Cost Pools:

Activity Cost Pools	Batch Processing	Unit Processing		Other	Total
Supervisory wages	25%	60%		15%	100%
Factory supplies	40%	30%		30%	100%

The "Other" activity cost pool consists of the costs of idle capacity and organization-sustaining costs that are not assigned to products.

How much supervisory wages and factory supplies cost would NOT be assigned to products using the activity-based costing system?

Overhead costs have already been allocated to the company's three activity cost pools as follows: Processing, $52,500; Supervising, $28,600; and Other, $24,400. 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:

	MHs (Processing)	Batches (Supervising)
Product O6	18,500	1,400
Product D7	1,100	510
Total	19,600	1,910
