    The average cost of product Q79Y is closest to = $ 133.30

    Explanation:

    Paparo Corporation

    We find the total cost of material, labor and FOH using activity based costing.

    Activity based Costs = Activity Cost / Total Cost Pool * No of Cost Pools

    Direct materials cost $ 46.00 per unit * 450 = $ 20700

    Direct labor cost $ 41.07 per unit*450 = $ 18481.5

    Assembly Costs = $ 831,300 / 51,000 machine-hours * 1,010 hours = $ 16463

    Processing orders Costs = $ 49,010 / 1,300 orders * 55 orders = $2073.5

    Inspection Costs = $ 98,905 / 1,310 inspection-hours * 30 hours = $2265

    Total Manufacturing Costs for 450 units = $ 59983

    The average cost of product Q79Y is closest to = $ 59983/450=$ 133.29=

    $ 133.30
