Under a traditional cost accounting system,

(A)overhead cost are assigned to individual products and then reallocated to cost centers on a single basis such as direct labor hours.

(B)overhead cost for a product may change due to changes in a department's cost even though the product is not manufactured at all in that department.

(C) cost are bit batched together as the product moves from on processing department to the next.

(D) a small decrease in the overhead allocation base can result in a substantial decrease in a product's total cost, but not as much as when overhead costs are reduced directly.
