Answer:

Product A= $30,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A B Total

Direct labor $15,000 $10,000 $25,000

Fixed Costs $50,000

First, we need to calculate the allocation rate:

Allocation rate= total estimated costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Allocation rate= 50,000 / 25,000

Allocation rate= $2 per direct labor dollar

Now, for product A:

Product A= 2*15,000= $30,000
