2. Property
3. Retirement plans
4. Speculative stocks

Answer:
$79.92 per move.
Explanation:
Activity rate can be calculated by dividing Activity cost budgeted for the particular activity pool by the Estimated or Total Activity base for that pool
Activity rate = Budgeted activity cost ÷ Estimated or Total Activity base
In the question above,
Budgeted Activity cost for material handling = $443,500
Estimated or Total Activity base for material handling (Summation of Total moves) = 1,460 + 760 + 3,700 = 5920 moves
Activity rate = $443,500 ÷ 5920
= $79.92 per move.
