Calculate product margin for the two models, Standard and Advanced, separately using the activity-based costing system. The amount of product margin should be on a total basis and on a per-unit basis using the following template for guidance:
Standard Advanced
Sales $$$ $$$
Activity-based costs
Direct materials $$$ $$$
Direct labor $$$ $$$
Variable selling expense $$$ $$$
Machining $$$ $$$
Purchase orders $$$ $$$
Design alterations $$$ $$$
Product margin $$$ $$$
Average product margin per unit $$$ $$$
Note: customer relations is a customer-level activity and should not be included in the computation of the product margin.
