Explanation / Answer

Overhead cost for Product A under Actibity based costing is

Activity 1 = $46,775 * 1300 / 2500 = 24,323

Activity 2 = $68,277 * 2300 / 3300 = 47,587

Activity 3 = $82,502 * 720 / 1420 = 41,832

Total Exp = 24,323 + 47,587 + 41,832 = $113,742

Per unit cost is = $113,742 / 1800 units = $63.19
