AI Summary
This report analyzes Sewing Easy Ltd's costing methods, comparing traditional costing with activity-based costing (ABC) to understand discrepancies in profitability between their basic and advanced sewing machine models. The analysis reveals that the traditional costing system inaccurately allocates overhead costs, leading to an underestimation of the advanced model's costs and an overestimation of the basic model's costs. The report advocates for a transition to ABC to improve pricing decisions, enhance management decision-making, and ensure long-term competitiveness. It also addresses the limitations of ABC, such as its complexity and implementation challenges, and suggests measures to align product pricing with accurate costing and competitor prices. The report concludes that adopting ABC provides a strategic advantage by enabling better resource allocation and informed decision-making, ultimately impacting the firm's profitability and market position.
