Question

Hercules Inc. manufactures elliptical exercise machines and treadmills. The products are produced in its Fabrication and Assembly production departments. In addition to production activities, several other activities are required to produce the two products. These activities and their associated activity rates are as follows:

Activity Activity Rate
Fabrication $31 per machine hour
Assembly $17 per direct labor hour
Setup $58 per setup
Inspecting $26 per inspection
Production scheduling $18 per production order
Purchasing $15 per purchase order
The activity-base usage quantities and units produced for each product were as follows:
Activity Base Elliptical Machines Treadmill
Machine hours 1,956 1,154
Direct labor hours 394 154
Setups 44 14
Inspections 700 420
Production orders 69 14
Purchase orders 195 119
Units produced 300 201
Required:
Use the activity rate and usage information to calculate the total activity cost and activity cost per unit for each product. Complete the Activity Tables for elliptical machines and treadmills. If required, round per-unit answers to the nearest cent.

Explanation: step by step explanation

For Elliptical Machines

Acitvity Activity usage Activity Rate Activity cost(Activty

usagexActivity Rate)

Fabrication 1,956 $31 $60,636

Assembly 394 $17 $6,698

SET up 44 $58 $2552

inspections 700 $ 26 $18,200

production scheduling 69 $18 $1242

purchasing 195 $15 $2925

Total Activity cost $92,253

For Treadmills

Acitvity Activity usage Activity Rate Activity cost(Activity

usage x Activity Rate)

Fabrication 1154 $31 35,774

Assembly 154 $17 2618

SET up 14 $58 $812

inspections 420 $26 $10,920

production schedulimng 14 $18 $252

purchasing 119 $15 $1785

Total Activity cost $52,161

Elliptical Machines Treadmill

Total Activity cost $92,253 $52,161

Units produced 300 201

Activity cost per unit $307.51 $259.507

≈$307.5 ≈$259.5
