bi ion [11 marks] Mason Metal Creations Ltd is a small company located in Barrie, Ontario. Currently, the company produces two products - Welcome signs and door hooks. For the 2020, the company budgeted overhead costs of $375,000. It has allocated overhead on a factory-wide basis to its two products using direct labor hours which are estimated to be 182,000 for the current year. The company has decided to experiment with activity-based costing and has created two activity cost pools and related activity cost drivers. These two cost pools are: welding (cost driver is number of setups) and polishing (cost driver is number of batches). Overhead allocated to the Welding cost pool is $177,000 and $198,000 is allocated to the Polishing cost pool. Additional information related to these pools is as follows.
