Pricing as per costing activity
Unit-Level Costing: This method assigns costs (materials, labor, and overhead) based on the volume of production, such as cost per item or per linear meter in some instance for this framework
Cost Drivers: In Activity-Based Costing (ABC), the "linear meter" or "individual item" acts as the cost driver (or unit of measurement) to allocate indirect costs to a product.
Calculation Method: Total cost (direct materials + labor + overhead) is divided by the number of units or total length (meters) to establish the rate.
Applications: It is essential for determining profitability, setting prices, and in construction or manufacturing (e.g., pipes, fabric, wiring).
This approach is crucial in Activity-Based Costing (ABC) for assigning overhead to products, and in marginal costing to determine the cost of producing one additional unit
