Solution:
Activity-based costing (ABC) is an aggregate and indirect costs accounting tool for related products. This costing approach considers the relation between the prices, labour operations as well as the manufactured goods, and attributes administrative costs less randomly to products than conventional costing approaches.
Nevertheless, a company can not be allocated for indirect costs such as marketing and employee salaries.
So, activity rate for the setup activity cost pool = 10,000 / 500
= $200.00
