Explanation / Answer

Margin= selling price- direct material-direct labour-overhead cost
According to ABC costing the cost of overheaf for each process is

Standard model and custom design:
Selling price=(14*1625)+(3*2360)=$29,830
Direct material=(482*14)+(572*3)=$8,464
direct labour=(30.5*20*14)+(31*20*3)=$10,400
overhead cost:
supp direct labour= (30.5*14*18)+(31*3*18)=9360
Order processing=(200*2)+(200*3)=$1000
custom design=(265*0)+(265*3)=795
custoemr service=436 (since for one customer)

Margin=29830-8464-10400-9360-1000-795-436=$-625
