The ABC Company manufactures two products, Product Alpha and Product Beta. Both are produced in a very labour-intensive environment and use similar processes. Alpha and Beta differ by volume. Beta is a high-volume product, while Alpha is a low-volume product. Details of product inputs, outputs and the costs of activities are as follows: Direct labour Annual output hours/unit Number of purchase orders Number of set-ups (units) Alpha 5 1,200 75 40 Beta 5 12,000 85 60 160 100 Fixed overhead costs amount to a total of $420,000 and have been analysed as follows: Volume-related 100,000 Purchasing related Set-up related 145,000 175,000 Using a traditional method of overhead absorption based on labour hours, what is the overhead cost per unit for each unit of product Alpha?
