Java Source, Inc. (JSI), is a processor and distributor of a variety of blends of coffee.

The company buys coffee beans from around the world and roasts, blends and
packages them for resale. JSI offers a large variety of different coffees that it sells to
gourmet shops in one-pound bags. The major cost of the coffee is raw materials.
However, the companys predominantly automated roasting, blending and
packaging processes require a substantial amount of manufacturing overhead. The
company uses relatively little direct labor. Some of JSIs coffees are very popular and
sell in large volumes, while a few of the newer blends sell in very low volumes. JSI
prices its coffees at manufacturing cost plus a mark-up of 25%, with some
adjustments made to keep the companys prices competitive. For the coming year,
JSIs budget includes estimated manufacturing overhead cost of P2,200,000. JSI
assigns manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of direct labor hours. The
expected direct labor cost totals P600,000, which represents 50,000 hours of direct
labor time. Based on the sales budget and expected raw materials costs, the
company will purchase and use P5,000,000 of raw materials during the year. The
expected costs for direct materials and direct labor for one-pound bags of two of the
companys coffee products appear below.

JSIs controller believes that the companys traditional costing system may be
providing misleading cost information. To determine whether or not this is correct,
the controller has prepared an analysis of the years expected manufacturing
overhead costs, as shown in the following table:
