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",
