Lindsey Company uses activity-based costing. The company has two products: A and B. The annual production and sales of Product A is 5,000 units and of Product B is 2,000 units. There are three activity cost pools, with total cost and activity as follows:

The activity-based costing cost per unit of Product A is closest to:

A.
$14.11

B.
$13.77

C.
$7.00

D.
$17.70
Solution: A
Activity Rate:
1. 24,000 / 1,000 = 24
2. 36,900 / 900 = 41
3. 63,000 / 1,800 = 35
Product Total Cost:
1. 24 * 200 = 4,800
2. 41 * 750 = 30,750
3. 25 * 1,000 = 35,000
4,800 + 30,750 + 35,000 = 70,550
70,550 / 5000 units = 14.11 per unit

Processing: 60,896 / 1,600 = 38.06
Inspection: 82,767 / 1,410 = 58.70
2. Overhead Cost charged to Product F60N:
