Answer #1

Activity rate=Respective cost/Respective activity

Activity rate for:

Activity 1=(16,660/700)=$23.8

Activity 2=(18450/1800)=$10.25

Activity 3=(9731/220)=$44.2318182(Approx)

Hence cost for A=(23.8*600)+(10.25*1100)+(44.2318182*60)

=$28208.91(Approx)

Hence cost per unit=28208.91/200

=$141.04(Approx)
