    Importance of Manufacuring Overhead Allocations
    The percentages of product cost comprised by direct materials direct labor and manufacturing over head

    Company A Company B Company C
    Direct materials 7% 21% 42%
    Direct labor 13 42 49
    Manufacturing overhead 80 37 9
    ;)
    Based on this information which of these 3 companies would probably improve its product costing accuracy most by converting to activity based costing (ABC).

    I would think that company C would probably improve its product costing accuracy most. Because of the low percentage in the manufacturing overhead which would seem to me to be the least cost effectiveness with 9 %
