Activity 1 allocated to Product A line: $87,000 x 3,000/5,800 = $45,000
Activity 2 allocated to Product A line: $62,000 x 4,500/10,000 = $27,900
Activity 3 allocated to Product A line: $93,000 x 2,500/7,750 = $30,000
Total overhead allocated to Product B = $102,900
Overhead per unit of Product B: $102,900/34,300 = $3.00
