Coffee Bean Incorporated $($CBI$)$ processes and distributes high$-$quality coffee. CBI buys coffee beans from around the world and roasts, blends, and packages them for resale. Currently, the firm offers $2$ coffees to gourmet shops in $1-$pound bags. The major cost is direct materials; however, a substantial amount of factory overhead is incurred in the predominantly automated roasting and packing process. The company uses relatively little direct labor.

$$

CBI prices its coffee at full product cost, including allocated overhead, plus a markup of $30\%.$ If its prices are significantly higher than the market, CBI lowers its prices. The company competes primarily on the quality of its products, but customers are price conscious as well.

$$

Data for the current budget include factory overhead of $$3,140,000,$ which has been allocated on the basis of each product$$s direct labor cost. The budgeted direct labor cost for the current year totals $$600,000.$ The firm budgeted $$6,000,000$ for purchase and use of direct materials $($mostly coffee beans$).$

$$

The budgeted direct costs for $1-$pound bags are as follows:

CBI$$s controller, Mona Clin, believes that its current product costing system could be providing misleading cost information. She has developed this analysis of the current year$$s budgeted factory overhead costs:
