    E) None of these answer choices is correct.

    Explanation:

    Overhead bases on labor hours:

    250 units / 25 per batch: 10 batch

    total overhead cost: $ 2,000 setup per batch x 10 batch = $ 20,000

    20,000 overhead cost / 1,000 labor hours = 20 dollars per hour

    1,000 labor hours / 250 units of output: 4 labor hours per unit

    4 labor hours x $ 20 = $ 80

    Overhead based on activity:

    Setup cost: 2,000

    units per batch: 25

    $ 2,000 / 25 units = $ 80
