The revised profit, reflecting a more accurate assignment of shipping and warehousing costs, presents a
much different picture of LLHC. The product is, in reality, losing money for the company. Its earlier
apparent profitability was attributable to a subsidy being received from the high-volume products (by
spreading the special shipping and handling costs over all products, using tons produced as the cost
driver). The same effect is also true for the other low-volume products. Essentially, the system is
understating the handling costs for low-volume products and overstating the cost for high-volume
products.
