Gwinnett Paper Company manufactures three products (computer paper, newsprint, and specialty paper) in a continuous production process. Senior management has asked the controller to conduct an activity-based costing study. The controller identified the amount of factory overhead required by the critical activities of the organization as follows:
Activity Activity Cost Pool
Production $ 495,000
Setup 225,000
Moving 29,750
Shipping 126,000
Product engineering 150,000
Total $1,025,750
The activity bases identified for each activity are as follows:
Activity Activity Base
Production Machine hours
Setup Number of setups
Moving Number of moves
Shipping Number of customer orders
Product engineering Number of test runs
The activity-base usage quantities and units produced for the three products were determined from corporate records and are as follows:

Each product requires 0.9 machine hour per unit.
Instiuctions
1. Determine the activity rate for each activity.
2. Determine the total and per-unit activity cost for all three products.
3. Why aren't the activity unit costs equal across all three products since they require the same machine time per unit?
