Indirect Factory Wages: $ 100,000
Factory Utilities: $ 40,000

The following cost drivers are used for each of the following activity cost pools:

  • Machining: Machine Hours
  • Milling: Milling Hours
  • Assembly: Direct Labour Hours

Practical capacity for each of the cost pools are shown below:

  • Machining: 18,000 Machine Hours.
  • Milling: 40,000 Milling Hours.

Actual Usage was as follows:

  • Machining: 40,000 Machine Hours.
  • Milling: 40,000 Milling Hours.
