Error in assigning costs in the production process affects and leads to an increase in the total amount of production of certain products. This fact further influences the reduction of the profit from the sale of product A, since the level of sales is predictable and unchanged, and the total amount of production costs is greater than the possible with efficient allocation of costs.
