Essay

Refer to Figure 13-10. Upon hearing of the analysis of the cost of making the metallic ink in-house versus buying it from an outside supplier, Jim Webb, the production supervisor said "That's nuts! This ink is a real pain to make and $1.24 per ounce sounds like a bargain to me!" Based on Jim's feelings, Anna Ruiz (a new CMA in the accounting office) did an ABC analysis of ink production.
