Quasi-Tech Corporation produces specially machined parts. The parts are produced in batches in one continuous manufacturing process. Each part is custom produced and requires special engineering design activity (based on customer specifications). Once the design is completed, the equipment can be set up for batch production. Once the batch is completed, a sample is taken and inspected to see if the parts are within the tolerances allowed. Thus, the manufacturing process has four activities: engineering, setups, machining, and inspecting. Costs have been assigned to each activity using direct tracing and resource drivers as follows: Activity Expected Cost Activity Driver Activity Capacity Engineering $1,000,000 Engineering hours 5,000 hours Setups      900,000 Setups 200 setups Machining   2,000,000 Machine hours 25,000 machine hours Inspection      800,000 Inspection hours 2,500 inspection hours Quasi-Tech produces two models: Model C and Model D. The following table shows how the two products consume activity:   Model C Model D Units completed 300,000 200,000 Engineering hours 1,000 4,000 Setups 80 120 Machine hours 20,000 5,000 Inspection hours 1,500 1,000 Determine the engineering costs assigned to Model C using the two most expensive activities for cost pools. The costs of the two relatively inexpensive activities are allocated to the two most expensive activities in proportion to their costs. The engineering cost assigned to Model C would be

Quasi-Tech Corporation produces specially machined parts. The parts are produced in batches in one continuous manufacturing process. Each part is custom produced and requires special engineering design activity (based on customer specifications). Once the design is completed, the equipment can be set up for batch production. Once the batch is completed, a sample is taken and inspected to see if the parts are within the tolerances allowed. Thus, the manufacturing process has four activities: engineering, setups, machining, and inspecting. Costs have been assigned to each activity using direct tracing and resource drivers as follows:

Activity Expected Cost Activity Driver Activity Capacity
Engineering $1,000,000 Engineering hours 5,000 hours
Setups      900,000 Setups 200 setups
Machining   2,000,000 Machine hours 25,000 machine hours
Inspection      800,000 Inspection hours 2,500 inspection hours

Quasi-Tech produces two models: Model C and Model D. The following table shows how the two products consume activity:

  Model C Model D
Units completed 300,000 200,000
Engineering hours 1,000 4,000
Setups 80 120
Machine hours 20,000 5,000
Inspection hours 1,500 1,000

Determine the engineering costs assigned to Model C using the two most expensive activities for cost pools. The costs of the two relatively inexpensive activities are allocated to the two most expensive activities in proportion to their costs. The engineering cost assigned to Model C would be
