Kies Inc. manufactures only two products, Medium (42-inch) and Large (63-inch) plasma screen TVs. To generate adequate profit and cover its expenses throughout the value chain, Kies prices its TVs at 200% of manufacturing cost. The company is concerned because the Large model is facing severe pricing competition, whereas the Medium model is the low-price leader in the market. The CEO questions whether the cost numbers generated by the accounting system are correct. He has just learned about ABC and wants to reanalyze this past year's product costs using an ABC system. Information about the company's products this past year follows: E: (Click the icon to view the data.) Currently, the company applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of direct labour hours. The company incurred $885,360 of MOH this year and 26,000 direct labour hours (9,400 direct labour hours making Medium TVs and 16,600 making Large TVs). The ABC team identified three primary production activities that generate MOH costs: E (Click the icon to view the production activities.) Requirements RRRR Requirement 1.
