1.0 Compute the target prices for the three models, based on the traditional, volume-based product costing system.
The volume based product costing system comprises the total product cost multiplied by a target selling price. The target selling price in a volume based product costing system can differ from an activity based product costing system because of the way the manufacturing overhead costs are lumped together and applied on the basis of direct-labour hours over all three products.

2.0 Computer new product costs for the three products, based on the new data collected by the controller. Round to the nearest cent.
Using the data the controller has compiled we can now separate the manufacturing overhead costs over the three products to give us a more accurate total product cost. I will be working out the overhead costs based on the activity cost pools given in the case study.
