Activity cost pools, activity rates, and product costs using activity-based costing

Hipster Home Appliances Inc. is estimating the activity cost associated with producing ovens and refrigerators. The indirect labor can be traced into four separate activity pools, based on time records provided by the employees. The budgeted activity cost and activity-base information are provided as follows:

Activity	Activity Pool Cost	Activity Base
2	Procurement	$66,000.00	Number of purchase orders
3	Scheduling	4,120.00	Number of production orders
4	Materials handling	13,280.00	Number of moves
5	Product development	8,100.00	Number of engineering changes
6	Total cost	$91,500.00

The estimated activity-base usage and unit information for two product lines was determined from corporate records as follows:

Number of
	Purchase Orders	Production Orders	Moves	Engineering Changes	Units
Ovens	400	136	240	68	740
Refrigerators	260	70	175	40	600
Totals	660	206	415	108	1,340

Complete the Activity Table for ovens.

A. Determine the activity rate for each activity. Enter these rates in the Activity Rate column.

B. Use the activity rates in (A) to determine the total and per-unit activity costs associated with each product. Round the per-unit rates to the nearest cent.
