Explanation:

The computation of the activity rate for each activity is shown below:  

As we know that

Activity Rate = Expected rate á Activity Driver

For Handling material = $650,000 á 100,000 = $6.50 per part

For Inspecting product = $925,000 á 1,500 parts = $616.67 per batch

For Processing purchase orders = $130,000 á 700 = $185.72 per orders

Paying supplies = $200,000 á 500 = 400 per invoices

Insuring the factory = $325,000 á $40,000 = $8.125 per square foot

Designing packaging = $100,000 á 2 models = 50,000 per models
