Techno
Instruments uses a manufacturing costing system with one direct-cost category (direct materials) and three indirect-cost categories:
a.
Setup, production-order, and materials-handling costs that vary with the number of batches
b.
Manufacturing-operations costs that vary with machine-hours
c.
Costs of engineering changes that vary with the number of engineering changes made
