Shalom Company uses three activity pools to apply overhead to its products. Each activity has a
cost driver used to allocate the overhead costs to the product. The activities and related overhead
costs are as follows: product design P40,000; machining P300,000; and material handling
P100,000. The cost drivers and estimated use are as follows:
Activity Cost Pools
Activities
Product design
Number of product changes
Machining
Machine hours
Material handling
