The controller determined that selling and administrative expenses consisted of two activities: sales order processing and post-sale customer service. The controller was able to determine the activity base and activity rate for each activity, as follows: Activity Activity Base Activity Rate Sales order processing Sales orders 65 per sales order Post-sale customer service Service requests 200 per customer service request The controller determined the following activity-base usage information about each product: Generators Air Compressors Number of sales orders 3,000 4,000 Number of service requests 225 550 A.
