EyeGuard Equipment Incorporated $($EEI$)$ manufactures protective eyewear for use in commercial and home applications. The product is also used by hunters, home woodworking hobbyists, and in other applications. The firm has two main product lines$$the highest$-$quality product is called Safe$-$T$,$ and a low$-$cost$,$ value version is called Safe$-$V$.$ Information on the factory conversion costs for EEI is as follows:

Factory Costs

Salaries $ $850,000$

Supplies $150,000$

Factory expense $550,000$

Total $ $1,550,000$

EEI uses ABC to determine the unit costs of its products. The firm uses resource consumption cost drivers based on rough estimates of the amount that each activity consumes, as shown below. EEI has four activities: job setup, assembly, inspecting and finishing, and packaging.
