    Proportion product Z (Machining) = 68%

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Machining uses machine hours as an activity driver.

    The cost of Machining is $185,600

    Machine hours:

    Product 5 = 1,856

    Product Z = 3,944

    Total Machine hours = 5,800

    To calculate the proportion of Machining for product Z, we need to divide the machine-hours used by the total machine-hours

    Proportion product Z = 3,944/5,800 = 0.68 = 68%

    If you have to allocate the machining costs to Product Z:

    Machining costs = 0.68*185,600 = $126,208
