Direct materials............................... $19,000 $43,200 $ 62,200
Direct labor................................... 12,200 23,800 36,000
Overhead (300% of direct labor cost)..... 36,600 71,400 108,000
Total cost.....................................
$67.800 $138,400 $206,200
Ouantity produced............................. 10,500 ft. 11,100 ft.
Average tost per ft (rounded).................... $ 6.46 $ 9.82

Northwest's controller wishes to apply activity-based costing (ABC) to allocate the $108,000 of overhead costs incurred by the two product lines to see whether cost per foot would change markedly from that reported above. She has collected the following information.
