Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $215 and $160, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $7 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 125,000 units of each product. Its unit costs for each product at this level of activity are given below:

	Alpha				Beta
Direct materials		$	42			$	21
Direct labor			35				28

Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead			31				34
Variable selling expenses			28				24
