Acme Manufacturing Company of Portland, Oregon has a Research & Development department that currently provides services to in-house manufacturing departments. Other manufacuturers have expressed interested in using Acme's R&D department for special projects. Management has decided to conduct an activity-based costing system in order to determine charges for both outside and in-house users of the department's services.
R&D activities fall into four pools with the following annual costs:
| Market Analysis |
|
1,050,000 |
| Product Design |
|
2,350,000 |
| Product Development |
|
3,600,000 |
| Prototype Testing |
|
1,400,000 |
Activity analysis determines that the appropriate cost drivers and their usage for the four activities are:
