Exercise 17-11 a-c Vaughn, Inc., uses a traditional product costing system to assign overhead costs uniformly to all its packaged multigrain products. To meet Food and Drug Administration requirements and to assure its customers of safe, sanitary, and nutritious food, Vaughn engages in a high level of quality control.
