Meester Corporation has an activity-based costing system with three activity cost pools--Machining, Order Filling, and Other.

Data used in the first stage allocations follow:
Overhead costs:

83,100
Supervisory expense

Machining costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Order Filling costs are assigned to products using the number of orders. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data for the company's two products follow:
