Activity-based costing involves allocating overhead costs to products based on the activities involved in producing them. The total overhead costs for Product Y1 are calculated as follows:
Activity 1: $10,000/500 units = $20 per unit
Activity 2: $50,000/1,500 units = $33.33 per unit
Activity 3: $100,000/10,000 units = $10 per unit
Activity 4: $40,000/250 units = $160 per unit
Total overhead cost per unit of Product Y1 = $20 + $33.33 + $10 + $160 = $223.33
Therefore, the correct answer is B, $1,630.44 per unit, which is closest to $223.33 after rounding.
