Hickory Company manufactures two products—13,000 units of Product Y and 5,000 units of Product Z. The company uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. It is considering implementing an activity-based costing (ABC) system that allocates all of its manufacturing overhead to four cost pools. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Products Y and Z: (The total estimated overhead cost may not agree with the sum of allocated overhead costs to each product.)

  

Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Estimated Overhead Cost Expected Activity
  Machining  Machine-hours $ 235,200    12,000  MHs
  Machine setups  Number of setups $ 73,600    160  setups
  Production design  Number of products $ 80,000    2  products
  General factory  Direct labor-hours $ 295,200    12,000  DLHs

  

Activity Measure Product Y Product Z
  Machining 6,600   5,400  
  Number of setups 40   120  
  Number of products 1   1  
  Direct labor-hours 7,600   4,400  

   

Required:
Using the ABC system, how much total manufacturing overhead cost would be assigned to Product Y? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answers to the nearest dollar amount.)
