Rocket Products manufactures three types of remote-control devices: Economy, Standard, and Deluxe. The company, which uses activity-based costing, has identified five activities (and related cost drivers). Each activity, its budgeted cost, and related cost driver is identified below.

Activity Cost Cost Driver
Material handling $ 225,000   Number of parts
Material insertion   2,475,000   Number of parts
Automated machinery   840,000   Machine hours
Finishing   170,000   Direct labor hours
Packaging   170,000   Orders shipped
Total $ 3,880,000    
The following information pertains to the three product lines for next year:

  Economy   Standard   Deluxe
Units to be produced   10,000       5,000       2,000  
Orders to be shipped   1,000       500       200  
Number of parts per unit   10       15       25  
Machine hours per unit   1       3       5  
Labor hours per unit   2       2       2  
Assume that Rocket is using a volume-based costing system, and the preceding overhead costs are applied to all products on the basis of direct labor hours. The overhead cost that would be assigned to the Standard product line is closest to: 
$1,141,176.
$456,471.
$646,471.
$961,176.
None of the answers is correct.
