Construct and Interpret a Product Profitability Report, Allocating Selling and Administrative Expenses

Naper Inc. manufactures power equipment. Naper has two primary products—generators and air compressors. The following report was prepared by the controller for Naper's senior marketing management for the year ended December 31:

Generators Air Compressors Total
Revenue $1,796,440 $2,752,720 $4,549,160
Cost of goods sold 1,347,330 2,064,540 3,411,870
Gross profit $449,110 $688,180 $1,137,290
Selling and administrative expenses 246,690
Income from operations $890,600

The marketing management team was concerned that the selling and administrative expenses were not traced to the products. Marketing management believed that some products consumed larger amounts of selling and administrative expense than did other products. To verify this, the controller was asked to prepare a complete product profitability report, using activity-based costing.

The controller determined that selling and administrative expenses consisted of two activities: sales order processing and post-sale customer service.

The controller determined the following activity-base usage information about each product:
