Adria Company recently implemented an activity-based costing system. At the beginning of the year, management made the following estimates of cost and activity in the company’s five activity cost pools:

Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Expected Overhead Cost Expected Activity
Labor-related Direct labor-hours $75,000 7,500 DLHs
Purchase orders Number of orders $14,400 3,600 orders
Material receipts Number of receipts $14,400 900 receipts
Relay assembly Number of relays $31,200 2,600 relays
General factory Machine-hours $440,000 40,000 MHs

Required:

Compute the activity rate for each of the activity cost pools.

Cost allocation per Direct Labor Hours                $ 10 per direct labor hour

Cost allocation per Purchase Order                          $ 4 per purchase order

Cost allocation per material receipts activity              $ 16 per receipt

Cost allocation per relay assembly                          $ 12 per relay assembly

Cost allocation per machine hours                            $ 11 per machine hour

answer: a. the kind of population living in your neighbourhood.

the census explorer data tool by the us census bureau allows the user to zoom in on any neighbourhood within the united states and find the kind of people residing in that by race and age.
