Answer:

Machine setups= $173.8 per setup

Special processing= $136.67 per machine hour

General factory= $13 per direct labor hour

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the activities cost rates, we need to use the following formulas:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Machine setups= 34,760 / 200= $173.8 per setup

Special processing= 136,670 / 1,000= $136.67 per machine hour

General factory= 819,000 / 63,000= $13 per direct labor hour
