Answer:

Amount considered for product = $784

Amount considered for period cost = $336

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The total premium for 3 years = $3,360

Percentage of premium applied to manufacturing operations = 70%

Percentage of premium applied to administrative activities = 30%

thus,

the premium per year = [tex]\frac{\textup{3360}}{\textup{3}}[/tex]  = $1,120

Now,

Amount considered for product = premium applied to manufacturing operations

or

Amount considered for product = 70% of the premium for the first year

or

Amount considered for product = 0.70 × $1,120 = $784

and,

Amount considered for period cost = premium applied to administrative activities

or

Amount considered for period cost = 30% of the premium for the first year

or

Amount considered for period cost = 0.30 × $1,120 = $336
