Family Supermarkets (FS) decides to apply ABC analysis to three product lines: baked goods, milk and fruit juice, and frozen foods. It identifies four activities and their activity cost rates as:
Ordering R100 per purchase order
Delivery and receipt of merchandise R80 per delivery
Shelf-stocking R20 per hour
Customer support and assistance 20 cents per item sold
The revenues, cost of sales, store support costs, and
activity-area usage of the three product lines are:
Baked

fruit juice
Frozen

Under the simple (traditional) costing system, FS allocated support costs to products at the rate of 30% of cost of sales.
Required:
2.1 Use the ABC system to calculate the operating
income for each of the products. (21)
Allocation if support cost using Activity based costing (ABC) :
Activity area usage | Cost allocation base | Baked goods | Milk and fruit juice | Frozen products |
Ordering | R100 per purchase orders | 3000 | 2500 | 1300 |
Delivery | R80 per delivery | 7840 | 2880 | 2240 |
Shelf stocking | R20 per hour | 3660 | 3320 | 480 |
Customer support | 20 % of item sold | 3100 | 4100 | 1580 |
Total support cost | 17600 | 12800 | 5600 |
Computation of Cost of sales under ABC :
Baked goods | Milk and fruit juice | Frozen products | |
Cost of sales as per traditional costing | 38000 | 47000 | 35000 |
(-) Stores Support cost as per traditional costing | (11400) | (14100) | (10500) |
26600 | 32900 | 24500 | |
(+)Stores support cost as per ABC | 17600 | 12800 | 5600 |
Cost of sales as per ABC | 44200 | 45700 | 30100 |
Computation of operating income as per ABC :
Baked goods | Milk and fruit juice | Frozen products | |
Revenue | 57000 | 63000 | 52000 |
(-) Cost of sales as per ABC | (44200) | (45700) | (30100) |
Operating income | 12800 | 17300 | 21900 |
