Before adopting the new ABC system, the company had used a plantwide overhead rate, based on direct labor hours developed years ago .For the upcoming year, King's budgeted ABC manufacturing overhead allocation rates are as follows :ActivityMaterials handling ..........................

Sell as is or process further (Learning Objective 7) OrganicPlus processes organic milk into plain yogurt. OrganicPlus sells plain yogurt to hospitals, nursing homes, and restaurants in bulk, one- gallon containers. Each batch, processed at a cost of $830, yields 750 gallons of plain yogurt. OrganicPlus sells the one-gallon tubs for $6.00 each and spends $0.10 for each plastic tub. Management has recently begun to reconsider its strategy. OrganicPlus wonders if it would be more profitable to sell individual-sized portions of fruited organic yogurt at local food stores. OrganicPlus could further process each batch of plain yogurt into 16,000 individual portions (3/4 cup each) of fruited yogurt. A recent market analysis indicates that demand for the product exists. OrganicPlus would sell each individual portion for $0.40. Packaging would cost $0.07 per portion, and fruit would cost $0.12 per portion. Fixed costs would not change.
