Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

Activity-based costing is a costing system that involves identifying an organization's activities and assigning the cost of each activity to all products and services based on actual consumption.

Based on the data in the question, a haircut requires ​one units each of Hair Washing and Conditioning, while it requires zero unit of each of Chemical Treatment and Styling.

Therefore, we have:

Cost of services for a haircut = (Units of Hair Washing * Rate of Hair Washing) + (Units of Conditioning * Rate of Conditioning) = (1 * $4.00) + (1  $3.50) = $4.00 + $3.50 = $7.50

Therefore, the correct option is a. $7.50.
