APC 309 ABC Mock Exam Solution A and B

This document contains information about the production costs of Products A and B using both the conventional and activity-based costing methods. Using the conventional method, the direct costs and overhead per machine hour are provided, showing the total production cost per unit of £49 for Product A and £115 for Product B. The total overhead is then broken down and assigned to products using an activity-based costing method, based on cost drivers such as set-up costs, machine hours, material movements, and inspections. This results in an overhead cost per unit of £86 for Product A and £74 for Product B.
