Guess Klein produces designer clothing such as T-shirts and jeans from fabric purchased from several nearby factories. The company's factory has two departments, Cutting and Sewing. The Cutting department, which cuts the garments from patterns, is a machine-intensive operation. It takes three times longer to cut and sew jeans compared to T-shirts. The Sewing department stitches the cut fabric, sews zippers and buttons and does quality checking. While stitching is highly automated, sewing zippers and buttons and performing quality checks is manual.

The company has decided to redo their accounting system and move to an activity based cost system. Table 1 shows the five activity cost pools which include all of the company's direct labor and manufacturing overhead costs. It also shows the cost drivers for each pool. Table 2 shows the cost drivers consumed by the two products. Table 3 shows budgeted product data for Jeans and T-shirts.
