Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool. 2. Compute the unit product cost for Hubs and Sprockets using activity-based absorption costing.

Fogerty Company

1. Computation of the Activity Rate for each Activity Cost Pool:

a. Machine setup = $31,590/243 = $130 per setup

b. Special processing = $282,000/4,700 = $60 per machine hour

c. General factory = $700,400/41,200 = $17 per direct labor hour

2. Computation of the Unit Product Cost, using activity-based absorption costing:

e) Activity-based costing system is a costing technique where costs are grouped into activity pools and the costs to be allocated to each product or service depends on its consumption from the activity pools involved.  The identification of activities in an organization is a way of explaining that costs are caused by activities and not by their nature or period incurred.
