Explanation:

As for the information provided:

There are four activities, accordingly their drivers are:

Cutting hours = 2,000 + 5,400 = 7,400

Assembly hours = 2,850 + 4,650 = 7,500

Inspection hours = 650 + 2,430 = 3,080

Rework hours = 150 + 450 = 600

Cost associated with these activities are as follows:

Cutting = $162,800

Assembling = $337,500

Inspecting = $55,440

Reworking = $39,000

Rate per activity shall be:

Cutting = $162,800/7,400 = $22 per hour

Assembling = $337,500/7,500 = $45 per hour

Inspection = $55,440/3,080 = $18 per hour

Rework = $39,000/600 = $65 per hour
