It uses activity-based costing and has prepared the following analysis showing budgeted cost and activity for each of its three activity cost pools: Annual production and sales level of Product A is 34,300 units, and the annual production and sales level of Product B is 69,550 units. What is the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing

Answer: $3 per unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the complete question:

company has two products: A and B. It uses activity-based costing and has prepared the following analysis showing budgeted cost and activity for each of its three activity cost pools: Activity Cost Pool Budgeted Activity

Budgeted Cost. Product A Product B

Activity 1 $ 87,000. 3,000. 2,800

Activity 2 $ 62,000 4,500 5,500

Activity 3 $ 93,000 2,500 5,250

Annual production and sales level of Product A is 34,300 units, and the annual production and sales level of Product B is 69,550 units. What is the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing?

Activity 1 (87000/5800 × 3000) = 45000

Activity 2 (62000/10000 × 4500) = 27900

Activity 3 (93000/7750 × 2500) = 30000

Total overhead cost = 102900

Since Unit = 34300, the overhead cost per unit will then be:

= $102900 / 34300

= $3 per unit
