    Contribution margin = $20.15

    Explanation:

    First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate for each activity cost pool.

    To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = total estimated overhead costs for the period / total amount of allocation base

    Assembly = 1,363,440/69,000 = $19.76 per machine-hour

    Processing orders = 45,254/1,700 = $26.62 per order

    Inspection = 120,754/1,730 = $69.8

    Now, we need to allocate overhead to S78 N units:

    Allocated MOH = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate * Actual amount of allocation base

    Assembly = 19.76*740 hours = 14,622.4

    Processing = 26.62*30 = 798.6

    Inspection = 69.8*10 = 698

    Total = $16,119

    Unitary overhead = 16,119/490 = $32.90

    Finally, we can calculate the unitary cost and product margin:

    Total unitary cost = direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead

    Total unitary cost = 50.61 + 12.74 + 32.90 = $96.25

    Contribution margin = selling price - total unitary cost

    Contribution margin = 116.4 - 96.25 = $20.15
