Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $165 and $130, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $8 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 113,000 units of each product. Its average cost per unit for each product at this level of activity are given below:

Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead			25				27
Variable selling expenses			21				17
Common fixed expenses			24				19
Total cost per unit		$	154			$	126

The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.

1-1. What is the total amount of traceable fixed manufacturing overhead for each of the two products? (Alpha / Beta)

1-2. What is the companys total amount of common fixed expenses?
