A question about dstiributive singular/plural
If I want to say that a fixed gross margin rate is necessary to a group of spare parts, another fixed gross margin rate to a different group of spare parts, etc. Is it okay to say like this?
"The introduction of a fixed gross margin rate is necessary to each group of spare parts."
I'm afraid that the above might mean that a single gross marging rate is applied to all the groups.
I want to say that all the groups are different in gross margin rate.
"The introduction of a fixed gross margin rate is necessary to each group of spare parts."

SnappyIs it okay to say like this?I think it's OK, but if you want to be more specific,
"The introduction of a fixed gross margin rate is necessary to each group of spare parts."
The introduction of a [separate / different] fixed gross margin rate is necessary for each group of spare parts.
