Kardash Cosmetics purchases flowers in bulk and processes them into perfume. From a certain mix of petals, the firm uses Process A to generate Seduction, its high-grade perfume, as well as a certain residue. The residue is then further treated, using Process B, to yield Romance, a medium-grade perfume. An ounce of residue typically yields an ounce of Romance. In July, the company used 25,000 pounds of petals. Costs involved in Process A, i.e., reducing the petals to Seduction and the residue, were: DirectMaterials–$440,000;DirectLabor–$220,000;OverheadCosts–$110,000.Direct Materials–$440,000; Direct Labor–$220,000; Overhead Costs–$110,000.
