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 estimated total cost and expected activity as follows: Estimated Expected Activity Activity Cost Pools Overhead Cost Product A Product B Total Activity 1 $ 24,000 200 800 1,000 Activity 2 $ 36,900 750 150 900 Activity 3 $ 63,000 1,000 800 1,800 The overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the activities rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Activity 1= 24,000 / 1,000= $24 per activity unit

Activity 2= 36,900 / 900= $41 per activity unit

Activity 3= 63,000 / 1,800= $35 per activity unit

Now, we can allocate costs to product A:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Activity 1= 24*200= $4,800

Activity 2= 41*750= $30,750

Activity 3= 35*1,000= $35,000

Total allocated costs= $70,550

Finally, the unitary cost:

Unitary cost= 70,550 / 5,000= $14.11
