Explanation / Answer

1) Activity rate of procurement = 341700/17860 = 19.13 per purchase order

So answer is c) $19.13

2) Activity rate of scheduling = 223600/1335 = 167.49 per

So answer is c) $167.49

3) Activity rate of material handling = 462500/5990 = 77.21

So answer is b) $77.21

4) Activity rate of product development = 750100/46 = 16307

So answer is b) $16307

5) Activity rate for production = 1597800/21200 = 75.37

So answer is a) $75.37
