    X Y Z
    total units 1000 2000 3000
    delivery size 200 400 1000
    total labour cost= 360000
    total labour hrs = 45000

    I don’t know where you found this question, but assuming that you copied it correctly then the difference is $14 (the overheads per unit for Z changes from $26 to $12).

    I do not have the Kaplan kit. Assuming you have copied it correctly then Kaplan have made a mistake (there are several errors in their exam kit – have you looked on their website for an errata sheet?)
