    Manufacturing Overhead Allocation
    I cannot find the solution or mateial in my studies. This is soooo confusing. I want to understand.

    The percentages of product costs comprised by direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead for three companies are as follows:

    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 or these three companies would probably improve its product costing accuracy most by converting to activity-based costing (ABC) Explain.
