Global Gourmet Coffee Company $($GGCC$)$ is a distributor and processor of different blends of coffee. The company buys coffee beans

from around the world and roasts, blends, and packages them for resale. GGCC currently has $15$ different coffees that it offers to

gourmet shops in one$-$pound bags. The major cost is raw materials; however, there is a substantial amount of manufacturing overhead

in the predominantly automated roasting and packing process. The company uses relatively little direct labor.

Some of the coffees are very popular and sell in large volumes, while a few of the newer blends have very low volumes. GGCC prices

its coffee at full product cost, including allocated overhead, plus a markup of $35$ percent. If prices for certain coffees are significantly

higher than market, adjustments are made. The company competes primarily on the quality of its products, but customers are price$-$

conscious as well.

Data for the $201$ budget include manufacturing overhead of $$14,167,680,$ which has been allocated on the basis of each product's

direct$-$labor cost. The budgeted direct$-$labor cost for $201$ totals $$1,416,768.$ Based on the sales budget and raw$-$material budget,

purchases and use of raw materials $($mostly coffee beans$)$ will total $$6,200,000.$

The expected prime costs for one$-$pound bags of two of the company's products are as follows:

GGCC$\text{'}$s controller believes the traditional product$-$costing system may be providing misleading cost information. She has developed

an analysis of the $201$ budgeted manufacturing$-$overhead costs shown in the following chart.

Pata regarding the $201$ production of Kona and Malaysian coffee are shown in the following table. There will be no raw$-$material

inventory for either of these coffees at the beginning of the year.
