    Can't guarantee the timing of the answer, but can't hurt to try. Click on "Answer this question" button then click Manage Attachments below the window. There you can attach stuff to your post.

    I don't know why it is saying that it is invalid file. It is an excel spreadsheet.

    Hmmm, it seems I can't attach Excel Documents either.

    Copy it into a Word document and then post it that way.

    You can copy and paste Excel tables into word.

    gotta be one
    Company A Company B Company C
    Direct materials 7% 21% 42%
    Direct labor 13 42 49
    Manufacturing overhead 80 37 9
    100% 100% 100%

    Based on this information, which of these three companies would probably improve its product costing accuracy most by converting to activity-based costing (ABC)? Explain your answer.
    Company A
    Overhead is too high. Less overhead and better materials, maybe increased labor
