Using a single plantwide overhead rate, Model 212 appears to be unprofitable.
Management may be inclined to stop producing this product, increase its selling price,
or look for ways to cut the cost of producing Model 212 in order to make it appear
profitable. The plantwide rate may be inappropriate in this case, since machine hours
are only accumulated in the components department, and over 40% of the overhead is
incurred outside of that department.
