The plant manager believes it is time to refine the method of cost allocation and has the accounting department identify the primary production activities and their cost drivers: Activities Material handling Assembly Cost driver Number of parts Labor hours Allocation Rate $2 per part $20 per hour Inspection Time at inspection station $3 per minute The batch requires 100 parts, 6 direct manufacturing labor hours, and 2.5 minutes of inspection time. What are the indirect manufacturing costs per remote control assuming an activity-based- costing method is used and a batch of 50 remote controls are produced? 3.
