In addition to production activities, several other activities are required to produce the two products. These activities and their associated activity rates are as follows:

Assembly	$9	per direct labor hour
Setup	$49	per setup
Inspecting	$23	per inspection
Production scheduling	$10	per production order
Purchasing	$7	per purchase order

The activity-base usage quantities and units produced for each product were as follows:

Activity Base	Elliptical Machines		Treadmill
