[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $190 and $155, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $8 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 122,000 units of each product. Its average cost per unit for each product at this level of activity are given below:

Variable manufacturing overhead			21				19
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead			29				32
Variable selling expenses			26				22
Common fixed expenses			29				24
Total cost per unit		$	179			$	149

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