Answer:
The correct answer is 2.39
Explanation:
TOTAL WAGES AND SALARIES = $433,000
DEPRECIATION = $160,000
OCCUPANCY = $169,000
TOTAL = $762,000
here for calculating the activity rate for activity cost pool , we will only use the given percentages of wages and salaries, depreciation and occupancy in the activity cost pool -
Amount Activity cost pool Amount allocated
Wages $433,000 20% $86,600
Depreciation $160,000 10% $16,000
Occupancy $169,000 10% $16,900
TOTAL $119,500
Cost driver machine hours 50,000
Rate per machine hour $119,500 / 50,000
2.39
Therefore the activity rate for activity cost pool is 2.39
