Expert Solution

Computation of the activity cost per unit for product A:-

Activity 1 = $29,200 / 730 * 190

= $7,600

Activity 2 = $41,300 / 1,180 * 900

= $31,500

Activity 3 = $112,625 / 4,250 * 870

= $23,055

Total cost for product A = $7,600 + $31,500 + $23,055

= $62,155

Cost per unit = Total cost / Number of units

= $62,155 / 12,000

= $5.18 per unit

Correct option is b) $5.18 per unit
