Baxley Products manufactures office furniture by using an assembly-line process. All direct materials are introduced at the start of the process, and conversion cost is incurred evenly throughout manufacturing.

It uses absorption costing for financial performance evaluation and applies overhead based on machine-hours. Data concerning manufacturing overhead (MOH) incurred machine hours (MH) used for the last seven years follow. Currently, Baxley is using weighted-average method of process costing.
