Quasi-Tech Corporation produces specially machined parts. The parts are produced in batches in one continuous manufacturing process. Each part is custom produced and requires special engineering design activity (based on customer specifications). Once the design is completed, the equipment can be set up for batch production. Once the batch is completed, a sample is taken and inspected to see if the parts are within the tolerances allowed. Thus, the manufacturing process has four activities: engineering, setups, machining, and inspecting. Costs have been assigned to each activity using direct tracing and resource drivers as follows: Activity Expected Cost Activity Driver Activity Capacity Engineering $1,000,000 Engineering hours 5,000 hours Setups      900,000 Setups 200 setups Machining   2,000,000 Machine hours 25,000 machine hours Inspection      800,000 Inspection hours 2,500 inspection hours Quasi-Tech produces two models: Model C and Model D.
