Determine the cost of the firm's unit-level, batch-level, product-sustaining, and facility-level activities.

A.A batch-level activity is performed for each batch of products rather than for each 
unit. In contrast, a facility-level activity is required for an entire process to occur. Examples of the latter, which support the organization as a whole, include plant maintenance and property taxes.

B. Unit-level: $3,640,000 (1)
 Batch-level: $318,000 (4) + $115,000 (5) = $433,000
Product-sustaining: $2,040,000 (3)
 Facility-level: $1,229,000 (2) + $92,000 (6) + $1,564,000 (7) = $2,885,000
