    The overhead cost using ABC is $9,097.41

    Explanation:

    Activity Cost Pool of products is as:

    Setting up batches of ABC = Activity Rate * Total Activity

    where

    Activity Rate = $59.06 per batch

    Total activity = 84 batches

    So,

    Setting up batches = $59.06 * 84

    = $4,961.04

    Processing customer orders of ABC = Activity Rate * Total Activity

    where

    Activity Rate = $72.66 per order

    Total activity = 32 orders

    So,

    Processing customer orders = $72.66 * 32/

    = $2,325.12

    Assembling products of ABC = Activity Rate * Total Activity

    where

    Activity Rate = $3.75 per AH

    Total activity = 483 AHs

    So,

    Assembling products = $3.75 * 483

    = $1,811.25

    Therefore, the overhead cost would be computed as:

    Overhead cost = Assembling products of ABC + Processing customer orders of ABC + Setting up batches of ABC

    Overhead cost = $1,811.25 + $2,325.12 + $4,961.04

    Overhead cost = $9,097.41
