    Overhead:

    Other 18,750

    Setting up 13,200

    Processing 34,850

    Explanation:

    We multiply each activity cost pool by the rate of each department, then we add them to get the total overhead per department:

    Processing

    Depreciation: 55% x 59,000 = 32,450

    Indirect labor: 30% x 8,000 = 2,400

    Total: 34,850

    Setting Up

    Depreciation: 20% x 59,000 = 11,800

    Indirect labor: 20% x 8,000 = 1,600

    Total: 13,200

    Other

    Depreciation: 25% x 59,000 = 14,750‬

    Indirect labor: 50% x 8,000 = 4,000

    Total: 18,750
