Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

Labor-related $5.36

Machine-related $0.5

Machine setups $38

Production orders $34

Product testing $31

Packaging $15

General factory $10.48

Explanation:

Computation for the activity rate for each activity cost pool using this formula

Activity rate =Estimated cost / Estimated activity

Let plug in the formula

Labor-related $ 26,800/5,000=$5.36

Machine-related $ 4,500/9,000=$0.5

Machine setups $ 41,800/1,100 =$38

Production orders $ 17,000/500=$34

Product testing $ 15,500/500 =$31

Packaging $ 51,000/3400=$15

General factory $ 52,400/5000=$10.48

Therefore the activity rate for each activity cost pool are:

Labor-related $5.36

Machine-related $0.5

Machine setups $38

Production orders $34

Product testing $31

Packaging $15

General factory $10.48

VENTURING AND EXPANDING
Businessmen have realised that it is not always necessary to start a business from scratch. In order to
expand, wise businessmen have given other businesses a right to sell their similar products within some

maintenance can make money for by contracting them to another business. It is even more
advantageous when an institution decides to focus on its vision and improve their quality by allowing
specialists to perform other duties on their behalf.
