Shady Lady sells window coverings to both commercial and residential customers

E4-5 Shady Lady sells window coverings to both commercial and residential customers. The following information relates to its budgeted operations for the current year.

Commercial Residential
Revenues $300,000 $480,000
Direct material costs 30,000 50,000
Direct labor costs 100,000 300,000
Overhead costs 50,000 180,000 150,000 500,000
Operating income (loss) $120,000 ($ 20,000)

The controller, Wanda Lewis, 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 to install 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 product costing model can be developed. Here are the three activity cost pools and related information she developed:

Activity Cost Pools Estimated Overhead Cost Drivers
Scheduling and travel $90,000 Hours of travel
Setup time 70,000 Number of setups
Supervision 40,000 Direct labor cost
Expected Use of Cost Drivers per Product
Commercial Residential
Scheduling and travel 1,000 500
Setup time 450 250

Instructions:
a) Compute the activity-based overhead rates for each of the three cost pools, and determine the overhead cost assigned to each product line
b) Compute the operating income for the each product line, using the activity-based overhead rates
c) What do you believe Wanda Lewis should do?

Hy and Lowe is a public firm that offers two primary services, auditing and tax return preparation

ACC 560 Week 3 Assignment

P4-5A Hy and Lowe is a public firm that offers two primary services, auditing and tax return preparation. A controversy has developed between the partners of the two service lines as to who is contributing the greater amount to the bottom line. The area of contention is the assignment of overhead. The tax partners argue for assigning overhead on the basis of 40% of direct labor dollars, while the audit partners argue for implementing activity-based costing. The partners agree to use next year's budgeted data for purposes of analysis and comparison. The following overhead data are collected to develop the comparison.

Activity Cost Pool Cost Driver Estimated Overhead Expected Use of Cost Drivers Expected Use of Cost Drivers per Service Audit Tax
Employee training Direct labor dollars $216,000 $1,800,000 $1,000,000 $800,000

Computing Number of minutes 204,000 60,000 25,000 35,000
Facility rental Number of employees 142,500 40 22 18
Travel Per expense reports 81,300 Direct 56,000 25,300 $720,000

Instructions:
a. Using traditional product costing as proposed by the tax partners, compute the total overhead cost assigned to both services (audit and tax) of Hy and Lowe.
b. 1. Using activity-based costing, prepare a schedule showing the computations of the activity-based overhead rates (per cost driver).
2. Prepare a schedule assigning each activity's overhead cost pool to each service based on the use of the cost drivers.
c. Classify each of the activities as a value-added activity or a non-value added activity.

The Creekside Inn is a restaurant in Tucson, Arizona

ACC 560 Week 4 Assignment

P6-4A The Creekside Inn is a restaurant in Tucson, Arizona. It specializes in southwestern style meals in a moderate price range. Terry Wilson, the manager of Creekside, has determined that during the last 2 years the sales mix and contribution margin ratio of its offerings are as follows.

Percent of Total Sales Contribution Margin Ratio
Appetizers 10% 60%
Main entrees 60% 30%
Desserts 10% 50%
Beverages 20% 80%

Terry is considering a variety of options to try to improve the profitability of the restaurant. Her goal is to generate a target net income of $150,000.The company has fixed costs of $1,200,000 per year.

Instructions:
a. Calculate the total restaurant sales and the sales of each product line that would be necessary to achieve the desired target net income.

b. Terry believes the restaurant could greatly improve its profitability by reducing the complexity and selling price of its entrees to increase the number of clients that it serves. It would then more heavily market its appetizers and beverages. She is proposing to drop the contribution margin ratio on the main entrees to 10% by dropping the average selling price. She envisions an expansion of the restaurant that would increase fixed costs by 50%. At the same time, she is proposing to change the sales mix to the following.

Percent of Total Sales Contribution Margin Ratio
Appetizers 20% 60%
Main entrees 30% 10%
Desserts 10% 50%
Beverages 40% 80%

Compute the total restaurant sales, and the sales of each product line that would be necessary to achieve the desired target net income.

c. Suppose that Terry drops the selling price on entrees and increases fixed costs as proposed in the second part of the question, but customers are not swayed by the marketing efforts and the sales mix remains what it was in the first part of the question. Compute the total restaurant sales and the sales of each product line that would be necessary to achieve the desired target net income.
