I think the overhead cost per unit is calculated by dividing total overhead by the number of units, but I can't recall the exact steps for this specific scenario.

I feel a bit confused about how to apply the cost driver rates to the units produced. Did we use a formula for that?

This question seems similar to one we did in class about overhead allocation. I think we need to find the total overhead for product E first.

I remember we practiced calculating overhead costs, but I'm not sure how to allocate them based on the cost drivers here.

This seems straightforward. I'll focus on the interface types and speeds to identify the two that are incompatible for the Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation setup.

I feel a bit uncertain about the route-targets. Did we cover if PE2 needs to export those specific targets?

Okay, let me see if I can break this down. The senior responsible owner is the key decision-maker, so their focus would be on ensuring the vision is achievable and the organization can deliver the required changes. I'm leaning towards B as the best answer.
