Form reduced system cost pools for activities 7 and 8. Round any division to 9 decimal places in your computations. Round your final answers to the nearest dollar Inserting dies cost pool Purchasing cost pool  
  
  Solution
Answer
inserting dies cost pool = 0.7 - 0.3 = 0.4
= 300000 * 6/10
= 180000
purchase cost pool = 0.2 - 0.8 = 0.6
= 300000 * 4/10
= 120000
2 )
wafer A = 126000 ( 180000 * 0.7 )
= 24000 ( 120000 * 0.2 )
= 150000
wafer B = 54000 ( 180000 * 0.3 )
= 96000
= 150000
3 )development test program = 0.25 - 0.75 = 0.5
testing production = 0.6 - 0..4 = 0.2
developing test program cost pool = 300000 * 2/7
= 85714.28
testing production cost pool = 300000 * 5/7
= 214285.71
