Southeastern Paper Company manufactures three products (computer paper, newsprint, and specialty paper) in a continuous production process. Senior management has asked the controller to conduct an activity-based costing study. The controller identified the amount of factory overhead required by the critical activities of the organization as follows: Activity Activity Costs Production $220,000 Setup 117,000 Moving 21,000 Shipping 105,000 Product engineering 102,000 Total $565,000 The activity bases identified for each activity are as follows: Activity Activity Base Production Machine hours Setup Number of setups Moving Number of moves Shipping Number of customer orders Product engineering Number of test runs The activity-base usage quantities and units produced for the three products were determined from corporate records and are as follows: The activity-base usage quantities and units produced for the three products were determined from corporate records and are as follows: Machine Number of Number of Moves Number of Customer Orders Number of Test Runs Hours Setups Units Computer paper 400 80 230 310 50 1,000 Newsprint 500 30 70 140 15 1,250 Specialty paper 200 150 300 550 105 500 Total 1,100 260 600 1,000 170 2,750 Each product requires 0.4 machine hour per unit. Required: 1. Determine the activity rate for each activity. Activity Rate Production $ /mh Setup /setup Moving /move Shipping /cust. ord. Product Engineering /test run 2. Determine the total and per-unit activity cost for all three products. Round "Activity cost per unit" answers to two decimal places. Computer Paper Newsprint Specialty Paper Total activity cost $ Activity cost per unit 3. Why aren't the activity unit costs equal across all three products since they require the same machine time per unit
