Answer:

$35 per purchased order and $19.90 per square foot

Explanation:

The computation of the activity rates is shown below:

For Purchasing, it would be

= $175,000 ÷ 5,000 purchase orders

= $35 per purchased order

For factory, it would be

= ($34,500 + $74,950) ÷ (5,500 square foot)

= $19.90 per square foot

We simply divided the cost by the activity level and the same is applied for purchasing and for the factory
