Olivia considers customer accommodations as a product-level activity, because the cost associated with customer accommodations only incurs when customers order fresh lobster rolls, as mentioned before.

Production volumes are set equal to sales volumes since the company only make lobster rolls that they have orders for. Consequently, the company never has a beginning or ending work in process inventory, and it does not have a beginning or ending finished goods inventory either.
