The controller, Peggy Kingman, is concerned about the residential product line. She cannot understand why
this line is not more profitable given that the installations of window coverings are less complex for residential
customers. In addition, the residential client base resides in close proximity to the company office, so travel
costs are not as expensive on a per client visit for residential customers. As a result, she has decided to take a
closer look at the overhead costs assigned to the two product lines to determine whether a more accurate
