Norton manufactures two products: Product A and Product B. The activity-based usage quantities for each product by each activity are estimated as follows:Assembly Setup Materials HandlingProduct A 5,000 dlh 60 setups 25 movesProduct B 15,000 dlh 110 setups 250 movesTotal activity-base usage 20,000 dlh 170 setups 275 movesWhat is the activity rate for the setup activity (round to the nearest dollar)?a.$166 per setupb.$294 per setupc.$1,764 per setupd.$118 per setup

Answer 1

Answer:

b. $294 per setup

Explanation:

Calculation for the activity rate for the setup activity

Using this formula

Activity rates = Budgeted activity cost / Total activity-base usage

Let plug in the formula

Activity rates = $50,000 / 170 setups

Activity rates = $294 per setup

Therefore the activity rate for the setup activity is $294 per setup
