Nichols Inc. manufactures remote controls. Currently the company uses a plant-wide rate for allocating manufacturing overhead. The plant manager is considering switching-over to ABC costing system and has asked the accounting department to identify the primary production activities and their cost drivers which are as follows: Activities Cost driver Allocation Rate Material handling Number of parts $2 per part Assembly Labor hours $10 per hour Inspection Time at inspection station $20 per minute The current traditional cost method allocates overhead based on direct manufacturing labor hours using a rate of $600 per labor hour.
