Garfield Inc. manufactures entry and dining room lighting fixtures. Five activities are used in manufacturing the fixtures. These activities and their associated budgeted activity costs and activity bases are as follows: Activity Budgeted Activity Cost Activity Base Casting $282,600 Machine hours Assembly 150,360 Direct labor hours Inspecting 20,790 Number of inspections Setup 52,150 Number of setups Materials handling 42,770 Number of loads Corporate records were obtained to estimate the amount of activity to be used by the two products. The estimated activity-base usage quantities and units produced follow: Activity Base Entry Dining Total Machine hours 4,990 4,430 9,420 Direct labor hours 4,300 6,440 10,740 Number of inspections 1,440 450 1,890 Number of setups 280 70 350 Number of loads 720 190 910 Units produced 10,000 5,000 15,000 a. Determine the activity rate for each activity. If required, round the rate to the nearest dollar.

Casting  = $ 30 per machine hour

Assembly    = $ 14 per labor hour

Inspecting = $ 11 per inspection

Setup  = $ 149 per setup

Materials handling = $ 47per load

Inspecting                20,790                      Number of inspections

Setup                          52,150                         Number of setups

Materials handling      42,770                          Number of loads

Activity Base         Entry          Dining            Total

Machine hours     4,990           4,430            9,420

Direct labor hours 4,300          6,440            10,740

Number of inspections 1,440      450            1,890

Number of setups    280              70              350

Number of loads       720            190               910

Units produced   10,000           5,000         15,000

Activity            Budgeted Activity Cost              Activity Rate

Casting                    $282,600           $282,600/9420= $ 30 per machine hour

Assembly                  150,360               150,360 / 10,740 = $ 14 per labor hour

Inspecting                20,790                   20,790/1890= $ 11 per inspection

Setup                          52,150                  52,150   /350= $ 149 per setup

Materials handling      42,770                42,770/910= $ 47per load

The formula for  Activity rate = Activity Cost/ Activity Base Cost

the answer is 4 : )

hope i out!
