Spin Cycle Architecture uses three activity pools to apply overhead to its projects. Each activity has a cost driver used to allocate the overhead costs to the projects. The activities and related overhead costs are as follows: initial concept formation $ 40,000, design $ 300,000, and construction oversight $ 100,000. The cost drivers and expected use are as follows.
