• The email must start with a greeting (ex. Hello, Good afternoon, etc.). The greeting should also address an individual, this person does not have to be real.
• The information in the email should be broken out into several small paragraphs. This will make it easier for the reader to summarize the information.
• At the end of an email there should always be an email signature. This will include a closing phrase (ex. Thank you, Best, etc.). As part of the email signature, you will list your title in the company and contact information (this can be made up).

PROMPT: You work for a small manufacturing company. The company is growing quickly, and your supervisor is looking to better allocate overhead costs to the three product lines. Your supervisor is not familiar with the different cost allocation methods and has reached out to you to help better understand the different types. Please draft an email to your supervisor that explains the activity-based costing (ABC) and why you think it will help the company better allocate indirect costs of production (directly refer to its benefits vs the single plant wide rate).
