    Unit cost per classic card = $36.36

    Unit cost per classic card = $8.44

    Explanation:

    Total cost for the card = ∑ (Transaction * Activity rate)

    Thus,

    From the value given in the question

    Total cost for the classic card

    = (12,000 * 0.20) + (12,000 * 0.95) + (24,000 * 4.00) + (48,000 * 1.50)

    = 2400 + 11400 + 96000 + 72000

    = $181,800

    Unit cost per classic card

    = [ Total cost for the classic card ] : [ Total number of classic cards ]

    = $181,800 : 5,000

    = $36.36

    Total cost for the gold card

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

    = 1440 + 6840 + 144000 + 21600

    = $173,880

    Unit cost per classic card

    = [ Total cost for the gold card ] : [ Total number of gold cards ]

    = $173,880 : 20,600

    = $8.44
