Harwell, Inc. produces two different products, Product A and Product B. Harwell uses a traditional volume-based costing system in which direct labor hours are the allocation base. Harwell is considering switching to an ABC system by splitting its manufacturing overhead cost of $750,000 across three activities: Setup, Production, and Finishing. Under the traditional volume-based costing system, the predetermined overhead rate is $7.50/direct labor hour. Under the ABC system, the rate for each activity and usage of the activity drivers are...
