Answer:

Jason's accountant should consider a single plantwide rate to correct the problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a company manufactures products that consume factory overhead costs in different ways, a single plantwide rate may not accurately allocate factory overhead costs to the products and cause cost distortions. Cost distortions can cause companies to lose sales and make incorrect decisions on expanding production.
