I need detailed help with steps, if you can also show how to calculate unit product cost for each product that would help.

A company is considering the adoption of an ABC system because the managers suspect that their traditional costing system distorts product costs. The company produces and sells two products, Standard and Deluxe. Their traditional costing system uses machine hours as the allocation base for manufacturing overhead cost. The production managers decided that the major activities are Assembly, Machine Setups, and Parts Administration and determined the costs for each activity. They also identified how many machine hours, setups, and parts each product requires.
