Detailed Solution & Explanation

Under Activity-Based Costing (ABC), the total cost of product Z is calculated by summing its direct material cost, direct labour cost, and all allocated activity overheads (setup, machine running, purchasing, and delivery costs):
Total Cost of Z=Direct Materials+Direct Labour+Allocated Overheads\text{Total Cost of Z} = \text{Direct Materials} + \text{Direct Labour} + \text{Allocated Overheads}
Based on the case scenario parameters, the step-by-step allocation yields:
Total Cost of Z=2,86,073\text{Total Cost of Z} = \text{₹} 2,86,073
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
