Activity Rates and Product Costs using Activity-Based Costing

Garfield Inc. manufactures entry and dining room lighting fixtures. Five activities are used in manufacturing the fixtures. These activities and their associated budgeted activity costs and activity bases are as follows:

Assembly 196,860   Direct labor hours
Inspecting 28,000   Number of inspections
Setup 30,960   Number of setups

Number of loads 700   190   890  
Units produced 10,800   5,400   16,200
