The major ineffective cost allocation systems in Robert¶s estimated cost per square foot
(sqf) is treating some cost that @  @ 
   @  r Fixed
cost/sqf will decrease along with the numbers of glass producedr
Those costs are:
‡ Shipping Costr AGW has its own fleet, then the major cost will be depreciation (fuel is
considered as less major) and the depreciation is considered as Fixed Cost
‡ General Overheadr Overhead in nature should be Fixed Cost instead of Variable to Labor
costr
‡ Selling and Admin Costr AGW sales staffs are salaried employees instead of contractualr
So the cost will remain fixed in naturer

Based on our recalculation of sqf cost (treating these 3 costs as Variable Cost), AGW not

We assume that the total fixed cost of each of three cost from the production level of 150,000 sqf multiplied by
the original cost per unit at Robert¶s initial assumption
