1. Amos and Son Manufacturing Company of Asheville, Tennessee, produces about 1,000 units of hand-crafted wooden chairs per month. Their chairs are known for quality and durability. Most of the chairs are marketed through two furniture outlets with over 200 stores in the southwestern United States. You have been hired as a cost consultant to recommend improvements in Amos and Son's process cost system, a system installed some fifty years ago. Since then, the number of product lines has increased tenfold, and the units sold each year have increased from 3,000 to 12,000. You discover a process cost system driven by volume only, with a single rate for factory overhead based on units produced. Required: Given these limited facts, explain what impact changing to an activity-based process costing/management system (ABC/ABM) would have on Amos and Son's costing and pricing activities
