The controller, Peggy Kingman, is concerned about the residential product line. She cannot understand why this line is not more profitable given that the installations of window coverings are less complex for residential customers. In addition, the residential client base resides in close proximity to the company office, so travel costs are not as expensive on a per client visit for residential customers. As a result, she has decided to take a closer look at the overhead costs assigned to the two product lines to determine whether a more accurate product costing model can be developed. Here are the three activity cost pools and related information she developed: Activity Cost Pools Scheduling and travel Setup time Supervision Estimated Overhead $85,000 90,000 60,000 Cost Drivers Hours of travel Number of setups Direct labor cost
