1. The number of cases to break even, using the conventional approach of allocating overhead costs is as follows:
Rose = 15,670 cases ($459,900/$29.35)
Violet = 3,951 cases ($89,100/$22.55)
2. The number of cases to break even, using the ABC approach of allocating overhead costs is as follows:
Rose = 15,516 cases ($459,900/$29.64)
Violet = 4,227 cases ($89,100/$21.08).
