Solution

First, we need to calculate the activity rates for each pool:

Pool 1: 300,000/20,000hours=300,000 / 20,000 hours = 15 per hour Pool 2: 20,000/500pounds=20,000 / 500 pounds = 40 per pound Pool 3: 10,000/100moves=10,000 / 100 moves = 100 per move

Next, we multiply the activity rates by the number of each cost driver for product A:

Pool 1: 10,000 hours * 15/hour=15/hour = 150,000 Pool 2: 150 pounds * 40/pound=40/pound = 6,000 Pool 3: 20 moves * 100/move=100/move = 2,000

Finally, we add up these amounts to get the total overhead applied to product A:

150,000+150,000 + 6,000 + 2,000=2,000 = 158,000

So, the total amount of overhead applied to product A is $158,000.
