Now, managers are considering about activity-based costing system, and have gathered the following information about the expected manufacturing over- head costs for next year. Assume annual product and sales volume remains the same for future years.
Table 3: Information for Activity-based Costing System
| Activity Centers and Cost drivers | Costs | Units of the Product A | Cost Driver Product 650 |
| Center 1 (number of rooms) | $900,000 | 300,000 | 1,200,000 |
| Center 2 (number of shipments) | $800,000 | 4,800 | 15,200 |
| Center 3 (number of inspections) | $1,200,000 | 21,000 | 59,000 |
| Center 4 (number of orders) | $800,000 | 110,000 | 50,000 |
| Center 5 (number of hours) | $100,000 | 16,000 | 176,000 |
| Center 6 (number of set-ups) | $1,000,000 | 4,000 | 6,000 |

Product A Product B | ||
| Direct labor I hours | 3.5 | 1.5 |
| Direct labor I cost / hour | $20 | $20 |
| Direct labor II hours | 4 | 8 |
| Direct labor II cost / hour | $30 | $30 |
