The total factory overhead for norton company is budgeted for the year at $300,000, divided into three activities: assembly, $200,000; setup, $50,000; and materials handling, $150,000. norton manufactures two products: product a and product b. the activity-based usage quantities for each product by each activity are estimated as follows: assembly setup materials handling product a 2,000 dlh 8,000 dlh 5 setups product b 10,000 dlh 24,000 dlh 15 setups total activity-base usage 12,000 dlh 32,000 dlh 20 setups determine the activity rate for the assembly activity. a. $15.00 b. $16.67 c. $25.00 d. $1.67

The activity rate for assembly is $16.67.

We need to calculate the activity rate for assembly activity.

The formula we use is:

We have:

Total cost of assembly = $200,000.

Total number of direct labour hours for assembly = 12,000 dlh (Product A : 2000 + Product B: 10000)

Substituting the values in the Activity Rate formula, we get,

Activity Rate = $16.67

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
