Explanation / Answer

Activity cost for:

Setups=$59254/(33+14)=$1260.723404/batch

Engineering=$124334/(6670+9695)=$7.597555759/engineering hour

Machine maintenance=$91899/(7399+11803)=$4.7859907718/machine hour

Hence total allocated cost for B=(1260.723404*14)+(7.597555759*9695)+(4.7859907718*11803)

=$147797.4798

Add:direct labor=$535802

Add:direct materials=$99880

Total cost=$783478(Approx).
