Question: Identifying Activities, Resources, and Cost Drivers in Manufacturing International Plastics is a multinational, diversified organization. One of its manufacturing divisions, Northeast Plastics, has become less profitable due to increased competition. The division produces three major lines of plastic products within its single plant. Product line A is high-volume, simple pieces produced in large batches. Product line B is medium-volume, more complex pieces. Product line C is low-volume, small-order, highly complex pieces. Currently, the division allocates indirect production costs based on direct-labor cost. The vice president of manufacturing is uncomfortable using the traditional cost figures. He thinks the company is underpricing the more complex products. He decides to conduct an ABC analysis of the business. Interviews were conducted with the key managers in order to identify activities, resources, cost drivers, and their interrelationships.
