    Answer: (a.) Sales order processing = $ 15000

    Customer return activity = $8000

    (b.) Per-unit sales order processing = $ 6

    Per-unit customer return activity cost for swing sets = $ 9.20

    Explanation:

    Total activity cost is given as:

    Total activity cost = Sales order processing + Customer return activity

    ∵ Sales order processing = No. of sales order * Activity rate

    Sales order processing = 750*20 = $15000

    ∵ Customer return activity = No. of sales return * Activity rate

    Customer return activity = 80*100 = $8000

    ∴ Total activity cost = $15000 + $8000 = $23000

    Now,

    Sales order processing = $15000

    No. of outdoor equipment sold = 2500

    Sales order processing per unit = $15000 : $2500 = $6

    Customer return activity = $8000

    No. of outdoor equipment sold = $2500

    Customer return activity cost for swing sets = $8000 : $2500 = 3.20

    ∴Total activity cost = $6 + $3.20 = $9.20
