Owens Ltd. 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. In addition, there is a sustaining process with two activities: providing utilities (plantwide) and providing space. Costs have been assigned to each activity using direct tracing and resource drivers:
Activity drivers for each activity have been identified and their practical capacities listed:
The costs of facility-level activities are assigned using machine hours.
Refer to Figure 11-2. What is the cost pool rate for the batch-level activities?
A) £80.00 per machine hour
B) £13,500.00 per setup
C) £17.20 per machine hour
D) £97.20 per machine hour

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. In addition, there is a sustaining process with two activities: providing utilities (plantwide) and providing space. Costs have been assigned to each activity using direct tracing and resource drivers:
Activity drivers for each activity have been identified and their practical capacities listed:
The costs of facility-level activities are assigned using machine hours.
Required:
a.
Identify the activities within each process as unit-level, batch-level, product-level, or facility-level.
b.
Create homogeneous cost pools. Identify the activities that belong to each pool and the activity driver that will be used for computing pool rates.
c.
Build an activity relational (i.e. cost) table.
