The manufacturing overhead cost is comprised of two activities: set-up and operations. The cost driver for set-up is set-up hours and the cost driver for operations is direct manufacturing labour-hours. Archie Ltd allocates set-up cost at a rate of $80 per set-up hour and each set-up takes two hours.
The company makes Gizmos in batches of 100 units. Operations costs are allocated at a rate of $1.60 per direct manufacturing labour-hour.
