Sommer Industries manufactures a variety of custom products. The company has traditionally used a plantwide manufacturing overhead rate based on machine hours to allocate manufacturing overhead to its products. The company estimates that it will incur $2,580,000 in total manufacturing overhead costs in the upcoming year and will use 15,000 machine hours. Up to this point, hazardous waste disposal fees have been absorbed into the plantwide manufacturing overhead rate and allocated to all products as part of the manufacturing overhead process.
