Digiprint's simple job-costing system has two direct-cost categories (direct materials and direct labor) and a single indirect-cost pool. Digiprint operates at capacity and allocates all indirect costs using printing machine-hours as the allocation base. Digiprint is concerned about the accuracy of the costs assigned to standard and special jobs and therefore is planning to implement an activity-based costing system. Digiprint's ABC system would have the same direct-cost categories as its simple costing system. However, instead of a single indirect-cost pool there would now be six categories for assigning indirect costs: design, purchasing, setup, printing machine operations, marketing, and administration.
