Requirement 1:

Calculate the activity rates for each cost pool assuming Matson uses an ABC system. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)










 

  Activity rate


  Material Handling
$ 22 correct
 per material move

  Quality Control
$ 6.5 correct
 per inspection

  Maintenance
$ 2 correct
 per machine hour




Explanation:
Material Handling:  $2,376 / 108 = $22/move
Quality Control: $9,100 / 1,400 = $6.5/inspection
Maintenance:  $14,240 / 7,120 = $2/machine hr.

Requirement 2:
Calculate the amount of overhead that Matson will assign to the standard floor mat line. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
 
  Total overhead assigned
