Question:
A company has two product lines: Product A and Product B. The indirect costs associated with each product line are unique. Product A is produced primarily by hand and is responsible for most of the company's total manufacturing overhead. Product B is mass-produced by manufacturing equipment. If the company uses activity-based costing (instead of using machine-hours as its single cost driver), it is likely that:
units of both Product A and Product B will have too little manufacturing overhead allocated to them.
units of both Product A and Product B will have too much manufacturing overhead allocated to them.
units of Product A will have more manufacturing overhead allocated to them than units of Product B.
units of Product B will have more manufacturing overhead allocated to them than units of Product A.
