    Total overhead cost for Base model = $17,625

    Explanation:

    Under the ABC method,

    Setup cost = Overhead cost : Number of Setups.

    Given,

    Overhead cost = $22,500

    Number of Setups = Base + Loaded = 20 + 40 = 60

    Therefore, setup cost = $22,500 : 60 = $375

    Component cost = Overhead cost : Number of components

    Given,

    Overhead cost = $27,000

    Number of component = Base + Loaded = 15 + 25 = 40

    Therefore, Components cost = $27,000 : 40 = $675

    Total overhead cost for Base model = (Setup cost * Number of Setups for Base) + (Component cost * Number of components for Base)

    Total overhead cost for Base model = ($375 * 20) + ($675 * 15)

    Total overhead cost for Base model = ($7,500 + $10,125) = $17,625
