The answer is B) $21,400

Explanation:

We are required to determine the total activity costs for the return and shipping activities for product 1.

Shipping activity has a cost of $20 per shipment.

Sebastian made 800 shipments. The cost of this will be 800 x $20 = $16000

It is given that there were 90 returns. The cost per return is $60. The total costs of the returns are $5400.

The total costs are thus 16000 + 5400 = $21400

Therefore the answer is B) $21,400
