Answer:

D) $32.00

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the cost per driver unit for the account inquiry activity?


(Activity\: Cost\: Pool)/(Cost \: Driver)= Activity\:Rate

We will distribute the total cost of the account inquiry activity over the cost driver which is, labor hours.

Account inquiry: 86,400 cost

amount of hours 2,700

cost per driver unit: 86,400 / 2,700 = 32.00

This will be the overhead charger per hour in concept of accounting inquiry
