Costing Method (TBC)- The allocation of manufacturing overhead (indirect manufacturing costs) to products on the basis of a volume metric such as direct labor hours or production machine hours. As manufacturing becomes more sophisticated the manufacturing overhead costs usually increase while the direct labor hours or production machine hours decrease. Hence‚ the direct labor or machine hours are unlikely to be the root cause of the manufacturing overhead. (Accounting Coach 2014) The basis of traditional

FHPC produces 20 different grades of paperboard requiring several changes in quantities and production run. Grade changes induce instabilities into the manufacturing process that result in scrap until the process resumes stability. On average‚ production engineers estimate that approximately one-half reel is lost to scrap each time a grade change is made
