Question 4: Jerash Printing Company produces a range of diaries and notebooks that are sold only online through the company's website. Customers have the opportunity to customize their purchasing orders by selecting designs for the front and back covers of the notebooks orland diaries. Jerash Printing Company currently uses a traditional overhead allocation costing system based on machine hours to allocate manufacturing overheads to products. In year 2020, the company achieved a loss in its income statement for the first time since its commencement in 2013. The General Manager is very concerned and has suggested that the prices of all products should be increased by 25%. He also suggested that the problem relates to overhead allocation. As a result, the company has adopted the activity based costing (ABC). The below information shows that customers place individual orders and then discuss the design of the notebooks or diaries using emails. The artwork costs depend on the number of setups required to compile the notebook or diary. In addition, the company has a policy of dispatching each order individually.
