Funk Manu: Compute the activity rates for each process.
Not what you're looking for?
Funk Manufacturing Company produces specially machined parts. The parts are produced in batches in one continuous manufacturing process. Each part is custom produced and requires special engineering design activity (based on customer specifications). Once the design is completed, the equipment can be set up for batch production. Once the batch is completed, a sample is taken and inspected to see if the parts are within the tolerances allowed. Thus, the manufacturing process has four activities: engineering, setups, machining, and inspecting. Costs have been assigned to each activity using direct tracing and resource drivers:
Engineering $125,000
Setups 112,500
Machining 250,000
Inspection 100,000
Activity drivers for each activity have been identified and their practical capacities listed:
Machine hours 50,000
Setups 400
Engineering hours 10,000
Inspection hours 5,000
Required:
a. Identify the activities within each process as unit-level, batch-level, product-level, or facility-level.
b. Prepare a summary of cost/activity data using the following format:
Overhead Total Cost Activity Estimated Cost per
Activity of Activity Driver Driver Level Driver
c. Compute the activity rates for each process.
