Assume that a company makes only three products: Product A. Product B. and Product C. Currently, the company uses a conventional cost system that relies on plantwide overhead cost allocation based on direct labor-hours. It is considering replacing its conventional cost system with an activity-based costing (ABC system. The ABC system would include a total of four activities: Assembly (allocated to products based on direct labor-hours), Machine Setups (allocated to products based on number of setups), Material Handling (allocated to products based on the number of material moves), and Product Design (allocated to products based on the number of products).

implementing an activity-based costing system that has four activity cost pools: Travel, Pickup and Delivery, Customer Service, and Other. The activity measures are miles for the Travel cost pool, number of pickups and deliveries for the Pickup and Delivery cost pool, and number of customers for the Customer Service cost pool. The Other cost pool has no activity measure because it is an organization-sustaining activity. The following costs will be assigned using the activity-based costing system Driver and guard wages Vehicle operating expense Vehicle depreciation.
