Engineering design = Engineering Hours

Depreciation, machinery = Machine hours

Machine setup, indirect labor = Number of setups

Property taxes = Machine hours or square feet

Oil, heating = Machine hours or square feet

Electricity, plant lighting = Machine hours or square feet

Engineering prototypes = Engineering Hours

Depreciation, plant = Machine hours or square feet
