    Unit cost for Silver $ 19.60

    Unit cost for Premium $3.52

    Explanation:

    The calculation of the unit cost is shown below:

    (A) (C) (B) (A or C * B) Total cost

    Driver Classic Gold Activity Rate Classic Gold

    Transactions

    processed 20,000 12,000 $0.20 $4,000 $2,400

    Number

    of statements 20,000 12,000 0.85 $17,000 $10,200

    Number

    of calls 40,000 60,000 2.00 $80,000 $120,000

    ATM transactions 80,000 24,000 1.80 $144,000 $43,200

    Total cost

    Classic = $4,000 + $17,000 + $80,000 + $144,000 = $245,000

    Gold = $2,400 + $10,200 + $120,000 + $43,200 = $175,800

    Now unit cost would be

    Classic = $245,000 : 12,500 holders = $19.60

    Gold = $175,800 : 50,000 holders = $3.52

    The classic credit card is assumed as silver whereas gold is a premium credit card
