Lens Care Inc. (LCI) manufactures specialized equipment for polishing optical lenses. There are two models- one mainly used for fine eyewear (F-32) and another for lenses used in binoculars, cameras, and similar equipment (B-13). The manufacturing cost of each unit is calculated using activity-based costing, using the following manufacturing cost pools: Cost Pools Allocation Base Materials handlig Number of parts Manufacturing supervision Assembly Hours of machine time Number of parts Costing Rate $ 2.40 per part $14.80 per hour $ 3.30 per part $56.50 per setup $45.50 per hour $19.50 per hour Machine setup Each setup Logged hours Inspection and testing Packaging Logged hours LCI currently sells the B-13 model for $1,775 and the F-32 model for $1,220. Manufacturing costs and activity usage for the two products are as follows: B-13 F-32 Direct materials $164.50 $ 75.60 160 120 Number of parts Machine hours Inspection time 7.99 4.20 1.70 0.80
