Benson Manufacturing produces two keyboards, one for laptop computers and the other for desktop computers. The production process is automated, and the company has found activity-based costing useful in assigning overhead costs to its products. The company has identified five major activities involved in producing the keyboards.

Activity	Allocation Base	Allocation Rate
Materials receiving & handling	Cost of material	3 % of material cost
Production setup	Number of setups	$	102.00	per setup
Assembly	Number of parts	$	7.00	per part
Quality inspection	Inspection time	$	1.90	per minute
Packing and shipping	Number of orders	$	11.00	per order

Activity measures for the two kinds of keyboards follow:

	Labor Cost			Material Cost			Number of Setups			Number of Parts			Inspection Time			Number of Orders
Laptops	$	1,340		$	6,100			32			43			6,700	min.		67
Desktops		1,230			7,300			12			25			4,800	min.		24
