After reviewing the new activity—based costing system that Nancy Chen has implemented at lVC’s CenterF’oint manufacturing facility, Tom Spencer: the production supervisor, believes that he can reduce production costs by reducing the time spent on machine setups. He has spent the last month working with employees in the plant to change over the machines more quickly with the same reliability. He plans to produce 110,000 units ofthe Sport model and 45,000 units of the Pro model in the first quarter. He believes that with his more efficient setup routine. he can reduce the number of setup hours for both the Sport and the Pro products by one-third.

Compute the amount of overhead allocated to the Sport and the Pro drones for the first quarter using activity—based costing. Assume that all events are the same in the first quarter as in the third quarter except for the number of setup hours. Assume the cost of a setup hour remains at $900. ——
