Activity cost Total cost Total activity Activity Rate

pool

Assembly $775,100 46,000 $16.85

Processing

orders $57,375 1,500 $38.25

Inspection $108,772 1,420 $76.6

Average cost

Direct Material Cost $41.00

Direct labor Cost $41.29

Total Direct Cost $37,031

( Material Cost + Labor Cost ) × Number of Units

Add :Assembly Cost $18,872

(1,120 Hours × $16.85)

Add :Processing Order Cost $4,208

(110 Orders × $ 38.25)

Add :Inspection Cost $3,830

(50 Hours × $ 76.6)

Total Cost $63,941

Average Cost = Total Cost ÷ Annual Units

= $63,941 ÷ 450
