Littleton Plastics manufactures custom park furniture and signage from recycled plastics (primarily shredded plastic containers.) Many of the company's customers are municipalities that are required by law to purchase goods that meet certain recycled-content guidelines. (Recycled content can include postconsumer waste materials, preconsumer waste materials, and recovered materials.) As a result, Littleton includes two types of direct material charges in its job cost for each job: (1) virgin materials (nonrecycled); and (2) recycled-content materials. The company also keeps track of the weight of each type of direct material so that the final recycled-content percentage for the job can be reported to the customer. In its internal report system, Littleton also reports on the percentage of recycled content as a total of plastic used each month to help to encourage managers to use recycled content whenever possible. Littleton Plastics uses a predetermined manufacturing overhead rate of $9 per direct labour hour.
