The company's controller gathered additional information on fixed costs to see why they were so high. The following information on activities and drivers was gathered: Activity Activity Cost Model 3 Engineering Driver Usage by Model Model 2 73 12,700 Activity Driver Engineering hours Setup hours Model 1 800 12,900 13,900 $88,000 178,000 120,000 127 29,127 Setting up Customer service Service calls 1,560 19,127 In addition, Model 1 requires the rental of specialized equipment costing $22,500 per year.
