Panamint Systems Corporation is estimating activity costs associated with producing disk drives, tapes drives, and wire drives. The indirect labor can be traced to four separate activity pools.The budgeted activity cost and activity base data by product are provided below.
- Activity Cost Activity Base
- Procurement $370,000 Number of purchase orders
- Scheduling 250,000 Number of production orders
- Materials handling 500,000 Number of moves
- Product development 730,000 Number of engineering changes
- Production 1,500,000 Machine hours
