16. Assume the Spring Company produces two Products A and B. Both products are mixed in Department P1 and canned in Department P2. Most of the overhead costs are related to direct materials (DM) in P1, while most of the overhead costs in P2 are related to machine time. Data for a recent month follows:

b) $520,000 ; $530,000
c) $480,000 ; $570,000
