    The unit cost for classic and gold is $34,96 and $8.35 respectively.

    Explanation:

    The computation of the unit cost for classic is shown below:

    = (Processing transactions * activity rate + Preparing statements * activity rate + Answering questions * activity rate + Providing ATMs * activity rate) : number of holders

    = (12,000 * 0.20 + 12,000 * 0.95 + 24,000 * 4.00 + 48,000 * 1.50) : 5,200 holders

    = (2,400 + 11,400 + 96,000 + 72,000) : 5,200 holders

    = 181,800 : 5,200 holders

    = $34.96

    The computation of the unit cost for Gold is shown below:

    = (Processing transactions * activity rate + Preparing statements * activity rate + Answering questions * activity rate + Providing ATMs * activity rate) : number of holders

    = (7,200 * 0.20 + 7,200 * 0.95 + 36,000 * 4.00 + 14,400 * 1.50) : 20,800 holders

    = (1,440 + 6,840 + 144,000 + 21,600) : 20,800 holders

    = 173,880 : 20,800 holders

    = $8.35
