Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $180 and $145, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $6 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 118,000 units of each product. Its unit costs for each product at this level of activity are given below:

	Alpha				Beta
Direct materials		$	36			$	24
Direct labor			32				27
Variable manufacturing overhead			19				17
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead			27				30
Variable selling expenses			24				20
Common fixed expenses			27				22
Total cost per unit		$	165			$	140

The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are deemed unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.
