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:

ActivitiesCost driverAllocation Rate
Material handlingNumber of parts$2 per part
AssemblyLabor hours$10 per hour
InspectionTime 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.

What are the indirect manufacturing costs per remote control assuming an activity-based-costing method is used and a batch of 100 remote controls are produced? The batch requires 460 parts, 5 direct manufacturing labor hours, and 18 minutes of inspection time.
◦ $6.00 per remote control
◦ $13.30 per remote control
◦ $32.00 per remote control
◦ $1,330.00 per remote control
