To determine the overhead cost assigned to Product KL37, we need to know the amount of each activity required to produce one unit of KL37. Let's assume that it takes one setup batch, two customer orders, and three assembly hours to produce one unit of KL37. Using the activity rates provided, we can calculate the overhead cost as follows:

- Setup batches: 1 batch x $79.50/batch = $79.50
- Processing customer orders: 2 orders x $71.31/order = $142.62
- Assembling products: 3 hours x $7.06/hour = $21.18

Total overhead cost to produce one unit of KL37: $243.30

Therefore, the overhead cost assigned to Product KL37 using the activity-based costing system is $6,516.61 (i.e., $243.30 x 27 units produced).
