4 | Relative to activity-based costing (ABC),the traditional system over-costs the commercial containers and under-costs the travel packs | ||||||
The traditional system allocates overhead costs solely on machine hours. | |||||||
Activity-based costing (ABC) recognizes that although commercial containers require fewer more machine hours per unit than travel packs,they do not require the same proportion of material handling and quality assurance | |||||||
