Product-Level activities in activity-based costing relate to what?

In activity-based costing (ABC), product-level activities are specifically related to individual products regardless of the volume of production. This means that these activities are necessary for the development, design, and production of a particular product and are incurred specifically for that product. These activities might include things like product design, specification changes, and other tasks that support the existence of a particular product line, irrespective of how many units are produced.

This approach contrasts with facility-level activities, which apply to the general operation of the entire facility, batch-level activities, which relate to groups of units produced together, and unit-level activities, which are specific to each individual unit produced. Focusing on product-level activities allows businesses to more accurately allocate costs to specific products, helping to assess profitability and identify pricing strategies.
