Before fully analyzing the impact of switching toABC, management has asked the controller to focus on the quality inspectionactivity, which accounts for75% of the total budgeted manufacturing overhead. After speaking with the productionsupervisor, the controller has determined that the most appropriate cost driver for quality inspection overhead costs is the total number of quality inspection hours logged. Inspections are performed for every 40 Basic bodyboards manufactured and every 10 Deluxe bodyboards manufactured. Quality inspectors spend 2 hours inspecting each batch.
