Question

Ranada Company manufactures and sells sportswear products. Ranada uses activity-based costing to determine the cost of the customer return processing and the shipping activity. The customer return processing activity has an activity rate of $45 per return, and the shipping activity has an activity rate of $10 per shipment. Ranada shipped 3,000 units of Product 1 in 1,200 shipments (some shipments are more than one unit). There were 150 returns. Determine the per-unit customer costs for combined shipping and returns of Product 1 O a. $24.75 per unit O b. $2.25 per unit c.$6.25 per unit d. $55 per unit

Explanation / Answer

The answer is c.

Explanation

1. Total customer return processing activity cost

Customer return processing activity rate = $45 per return

Total number of returns = 150 returns

Total cutomer return processing activity cost for 150 returns = 150 returns x $45 per return = $6,750

2. Total shopping activity cost

Shipping activity rate = $10 per shipment

Total number of shipments = 1,200 shipments

Total shipping activity cost for 1,200 shipments = 1,200 shipments x $10 per shipment = $12,000

Shipping activity cost for 150

3. Total cost

Total cost = Total cutomer return processing activity cost + Total shipping activity cost

Total customer costs for combined shipping and returns of product 1 = $6,750 + $12,000 = $18,750

Number of units shipped = 3000 units

Per unit customer costs for combined shipping and returns of product 1 = $18,750 ÷ 3000 units

Per unit customer costs for combined shipping and returns of product 1 = $6.25 per unit
