CORRECT TEXT
A company currently uses a rate of $32 per machine hour to absorb its total production overheads of $960,000.

Using this system the production overhead cost per unit of product X is $160.

An activity based costing exercise has revealed that only $345,000 of the production overhead is driven by machine hours. The remainder is driven by the number of machine set ups, at a rate of $9.60 per set up.

Product X requires 3 set ups per unit.

Calculate the total production overhead cost per unit of product X using an activity based costing system.

Give your answer to two decimal places.

  1. $86.30
  2. $86.00
