Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $120 and $80, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $6 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 100,000 units of each product. Its unit costs for each product at this level of activity are given below:

	Alpha			Beta
Direct materials		$	30		$	12
Direct labor			20			15
Variable manufacturing overhead			7			5
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead			16			18
Variable selling expenses			12			8
Common fixed expenses			15			10

Total cost per unit		$	100		$	68
