Product Overview

This case provides students with an opportunity to practice a set of activity-based costing calculations.

It is best used as an introduction to activity-based costing and/or the more general topic of cost allocations. As such, it is effective for undergraduate and graduate managerial accounting courses, as well as executive education financial management programs.
