Multiple Choice

Twista Manufacturing has the following activities and activity costs per year: Machining ($20 000) ; Forklifting ($10 000) ; machine setup ($32 000) , and quality inspection ($40 000) . The operation starts with setting up the machines; each batch of products requires a different setup. This is followed by machining, where the cost of machining varies directly with the number of machine hours. Forklifts are used to move the work in progress around. Because quality is important, an inspection is carried out for each batch of products.
