A machine is setup once for each batch and the setup is the same regardless of the type of product.  There is one inspection performed for each batch and the inspection time is 1.5 hour for the deluxe product and ¼ hour for the regular product. The company purchases raw materials by batch. The purchasing agent has to make eight purchase orders per batch for deluxe product, and four purchase orders per batch for regular product.

The company is considering switching to an ABC system.  A recent cost study revealed the company expects $780,000 of overhead next year from the following activities:

Activity
