Feedback:
1. In all cases except for direct labor in part (a), two activity measures are listed. The first is a
"transaction driver" and the second is a "duration driver." Transaction drivers are simple counts of
the number of times an activity occurs such as the number of times materials are moved. Duration
drivers are measures of the amount of time required to perform an activity such as the time spent
moving materials. In general, duration drivers are more accurate measures of the consumption of
resources than transaction drivers, but they take more effort to record.
