Activity 1 allocated to Product B2 line: $48,000 x 4,800/6,000 = $38,400
Activity 2 allocated to Product B2 line: $63,000 x 4,760/7,000 = $42,840
Activity 3 allocated to Product B2 line: $80,000 x 800/8,000 = $8,000
Total overhead allocated to Product A1 = $89,240
Overhead per unit of Product A1: $89,240/22,310 = $4.00
