Jeeler's Netballs is a manufacturer of high-quality basketballs and volleyballs. Setup costs are driven by the number of batches. Equipment and maintenance costs increase with the number of machine-hours, and lease rent is paid per square foot. Capacity of the facility is 14,000 square feet, and Jeeler is using only 80% of this capacity. Jeeler records the cost of unused capacity as a separate line item and not as a product cost.
