58. Nissing Company produces two types of products: Product Chicken and Product Beef. The president of the company decided to change
from unit-based, traditional costing system to an activity-based cost system.
To assess the effect of the change, the following data have been gathered (for simplicity, assume one process):
Quantity Prime Costs Machine Hours Material Moves Setups
Product Chicken 400,000 P800,000 100,000 200,000 100
